The twin towns of Fishguard and Goodwick sit on the north coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales, hugging a natural harbour that looks across the Irish Sea to Rosslare. Goodwick’s harbour and breakwater were developed as a ferry terminus and the port remains a working gateway to Ireland alongside a local economy built on fishing, marine services and seasonal tourism; the coastline and nearby Preseli Hills provide dramatic scenery and access to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
Historically famed for repelling a French landing in 1797, the area combines maritime heritage with a lively cultural life - community arts at Theatr Gwaun, museums, festivals and a bilingual Welsh–English community. Visitors and residents alike enjoy rugged coastal walks, fresh seafood and a compact, village-like atmosphere that mixes past and present.
