Fishguard, Port town in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Fishguard contains two distinct sections: Lower Fishguard near the harbor and the Main Town positioned on the cliff top overlooking Fishguard Bay.
The town witnessed the last invasion of Britain in 1797 when French forces landed but surrendered within two days to local militia forces.
The name Fishguard derives from Old Norse Fiskigarðr meaning fish catching enclosure, while its Welsh name Abergwaun refers to the River Gwaun mouth.
The post office at 57 West Street provides banking services, currency exchange, passport applications, and parcel services from Monday through Saturday.
Ancient fish traps constructed during the Viking period remain visible during low tide along the bay, demonstrating historical fishing methods.
