Fishguard tourist guide - hotels and services

Positioned in the south of Wales in Pembrokeshire, the town of Fishguard is tiny and offers just a few attractions of historical interest. Due to its easy access to the scenic Pembrokeshire countryside, the town is a pleasant spot to take a serene weekend break or a laid-back summer holiday.

Probably the town's most principal natural attraction is Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. With a variety of species of animals and plants, the park is an absolute paradise for animal lovers and birdwatchers as well as for outdoor enthusiasts who simply enjoy walking amid greenery, around rugged cliffs and across rolling hills. The park's fascinating Celtic history is displayed through ancient burial chambers and a reconstructed Iron Age settlement.

More historic appeal is on offer at the Napoleonic Old Fort in Fishguard. The fort dates back to the late 18^th century and the area surrounding it was once a battlefield. Attacks were led here by the 'Black Prince' when the French tried to invade the area in 1797. Also nearby is a beautiful white lighthouse, noted as one of the town's most treasured landmarks.

As a town with a large number of transient visitors, Fishguard offers plenty of decent facilities. You can easily spend a relaxing lunchtime or evening at one of the town's eateries or pubs. Alternatively, you can visit the town's many art galleries or spend time perusing some of the delightful craft shops in town.
