Fishguard is physically split into two distinct parts: the main town sitting on a high plateau above the bay, and the older, more atmospheric Lower Fishguard (Y Cwm) clustered around the mouth of the River Gwaun. Historically, it is best known as the site of the Last Invasion of Britain in 1797, an event still commemorated by a locally embroidered tapestry housed in the town hall. Historically a fishing village, the town evolved into a key transport hub when the Great Western Railway extended its line to Goodwick in the early 1900s to create the deep-water ferry port. Today, life here is defined by its position on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and its proximity to the Gwaun Valley - a lush, wooded area where the community still observes the old Julian calendar. It is a practical, working town with a quiet pace of life, where the weather is dictated by the Atlantic and the geography remains dominated by the granite cliffs and the grey-stone harbour walls.
