Fishguard · Lower Town · last invasion
Fishguard works particularly well when the weather is changeable or the group has different interests: start with Lower Town’s old harbour, then choose between the Last Invasion story, galleries, cafés, coastal viewpoints and practical shopping.
Plan the dayWhy make the trip?
Lower Town is the photographic beginning: a compact old harbour below Fishguard’s main streets. From there the day can move indoors to the free Last Invasion tapestry in the Town Hall, follow the Art Afoot trail, or continue outside to Fishguard Fort and the coastal viewpoints.
See the harbour before moving uphill; high water gives the fullest view of boats gathered below the cottages.
The Town Hall tapestry tells the remarkable story of the 1797 French landing and local resistance.
History, art, food and practical shops sit close enough for smaller groups to separate and regroup easily.

A coastline with a story
Fishguard Fort overlooks the bay roughly a mile from town. Pair it with the tapestry for a day that moves from a real landscape to the surprising national story attached to it.
