Things to see and do Fishguard (Abergwaun)

This popular walking area can be reached in less than 10 minutes by bus. Here again, one marvels at the extraordinary views of the sea, despite the frequent sea breeze. Don't hesitate to cover yourself well! Beacons indicate the routes of two circular walks that take you along spectacular cliffs. One is 11.5 km for about 3.5 hours. You can also opt for its short version, 5 km long, by cutting through the land. A copy of the detailed itinerary can be requested from the tourist office.

This chapel is located in a nice overhanging corner. During the last French invasion (22-24 February 1797), the French established their headquarters in a neighbouring farmhouse. A 1620 Welsh Bible, the oldest in the country, damaged by occupants using it to start a fire, was found there in the 1990s. It is kept at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. The site is a good starting point for a walk along the coast to Carmaeg Wasta Point (9 km round trip).

This tapestry, created in 1997, traces the events that took place during the last "attempt" of French invasion of British territory in 1797. The tapestry illustrates the arrival of the French army consisting of three ships of 1,400 soldiers recruited from French prisons. It is by landing on February 22, 1797 on the beach of Carreg Wastad, that the French thought they would conquer Great Britain! They were blown off the island in three days!

Perched on a rocky promontory, it is one of the most powerful lighthouses in Britain. To the southwest of the lighthouse stretches a jagged rocky bay, an enormous jaw open to the sea. No beach here: the jagged rock falls abruptly into the sea. Walking on the cliffs promises splendid views. On the east side, following the coast, about 2 km from the lighthouse, we come across a cliff that is permanently home to seal families. Strumble Head is also a wonderful place to watch the sunset.
