Introducing Fishguard (Abergwaun)
Fishguard, perched on a headland between its modern ferry port and former fishing harbour, is often overlooked by travellers, most of them passing through on their way to or from Ireland. But it’s an appealing little town, with plenty of interest in the surrounding coast and countryside.

The Lower Town, next to the old fishing harbour, was used as a setting for the 1971 film version of Under Milk Wood with Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole and Elizabeth Taylor. It also featured (for all of two minutes) in the classic Moby Dick starring Gregory Peck.
This area was also the improbable setting for the last foreign invasion of Britain.
