Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Fishguard?

Strumble Head Lighthouse : Walk the cliff path to feel the Atlantic’s pull; watch seabirds wheel around the white lighthouse and scan for porpoises from the lookout. Pembrokeshire Coast Path at Dinas Head : Hike the loop between Pwllgwaelod and Cwm-yr-Eglwys to see why this coast is protected; pass heather-topped headlands and steep coves with clear water. Fishguard Lower Town Harbour : Wander the quay that featured in Under Milk Wood to catch the maritime rhythm; watch fishing boats, sea kayaks, and the tide slide under stone walls. The Last Invasion Tapestry : Visit the Town Hall to follow a local epic in stitches; read 30 metres of embroidery telling the 1797 French landing scene by scene. Gwaun Valley : Drive or walk into this steep, wooded valley to feel its slow pace; drop into a slate-floored pub, cross stone bridges, and listen to the river in deep shade.
