From St David's, the coast road runs northeast, parallel to numerous small and less-commercialized bays, to Strumble Head , which protects the harbour at FISHGUARD (Abergwaun), an attractive, hilltop town seldom seen as anything more than a brief stopoff to or from the Stena Line ferries (tel 0870/570 7070, ), which leave regularly for Rosslare in Ireland from the suburb of Goodwick (Wdig).
Near the town hall is the Royal Oak Inn , where a bizarre Franco-Irish attempt to conquer Britain in 1797 at nearby Carregwastad Point is remembered. The hapless forces arrived to negotiate a cease-fire, which was turned by the assembled British into an unconditional surrender. Part of the invaders' low morale - apart from the drunken farce in which they'd become embroiled - is said to have been sparked off by the sight of a hundred local women marching towards them. The troops mistook their stovepipe hats and red flannel dresses for the outfit of a British infantry troop and instantly capitulated. Even if this is not true, it is an undisputed fact that 47-year-old cobbler Jemima Nicholas, the "Welsh Heroine", single-handedly captured fourteen French soldiers. Her grave can be seen next to the uninspiring Victorian parish church, St Mary's, behind the pub. At the time of writing, the fabulous Fishguard Tapestry , which tells the story of this ramshackle invasion, is out of public view - a new, more permanent home is being sought.
Buses stop by the town hall in the central Market Square, right outside Fishguard's tourist office (June-Aug daily 10am-5.30pm; April, May, Sept & Oct daily 10am-5pm; Nov-March Mon-Sat 11am-4pm; tel 01348/873484). There's a subsidiary tourist office in the foyer of the Ocean Lab in Goodwick (same hours; tel 01348/874737), around half a mile from the Rosslare ferry terminus. Local boat trips aboard The Sea Spirit (Easter-Oct; tel 01348/874864) go from Goodwick up and down the coast. The train station is next to the ferry terminal on Quay Road. Buses usually meet ferries, though seldom the more frequent catamarans; a taxi (tel 01348/874491) into town costs around £3.
Accommodation is plentiful and cheap, with most places well used to visitors coming and going at odd times
