About

Fishguard's North East ward encompasses the historic core of this coastal settlement, centred around the steep streets leading down to the Lower Town harbour. The area includes the original fishing port and the flat quayside, with views across the Irish Sea. Its geography is defined by the deep natural inlet that forms the harbour, a feature that shaped its development as a trading and ferry port for centuries.

The community is anchored by the working harbour, where the Stena Line ferry terminal to Ireland provides a constant, low hum of activity. Life here revolves around the tidal rhythm and the comings and goings of vessels. The famous Last Invasion Tapestry, housed locally, commemorates the 1797 French landing, a pivotal event that occurred on the nearby beaches within the ward's boundaries.
