Fishguard is a compact coastal town on the north Pembrokeshire coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales, centred on a working harbour with regular ferry links across the Irish Sea. It sits near the sweeping beaches and cliffs of the Pembrokeshire coast and Cardigan Bay, with the low, mysterious ridges of the Preseli Hills visible inland; the landscape makes it popular for walkers, wildlife lovers and people seeking a quieter alternative to bigger resorts.
Fishguard has a strong maritime and fishing heritage and an economy now shaped by tourism, the ferry terminal at Fishguard Harbour, and local services. Culturally it marks itself out by the famous 1797 French landing - often called the last invasion of Britain - and a proud bilingual, community‑minded character that supports local festivals, music and heritage projects alongside traditional pubs and craft shops.
