(There is a map of Pembrokeshire at the bottom of this page)

   Fishguard is in the north of Pembrokeshire and is becoming known
as a centre for art and craftwork.
The town itself has two free car parks and some very interesting specialist shops.
During most of the year there is a thriving farmer's market every other Saturday
and two harbours - one the ferry terminal for Ireland, and the other a picturesque
old fishing harbour which has often been used as a film set.
Some businesses are closed on Wednesday afternoons.
A good place to stay is the Manor House Hotel in the centre of the town,
and the town now boasts a good selection of  places for food and coffee during the day, and also some excellent restaurants.
The Tapestry depicting the French Invasion is now back on show
in the town hall, and is well worth a visit - or two!

I'm planning to make a new page on this website recommending places to shop and to eat in Fishguard, so do check in the index on the home page to see if it's up around the end of November.
