About

Goodwick ward is situated on the western coastline of Pembrokeshire, centred around the working harbour and town of its namesake. The area is dominated by the deep-water port of Fishguard Harbour, a major terminal for ferry services to Ireland. The urban layout slopes sharply from the commercial quayside up into residential streets, with views extending across Fishguard Bay. Local economy is closely tied to maritime transport and related industries, with the harbour acting as a consistent focal point for activity.

The ward includes the lower slopes of Garnwnda and the pebbly stretch of Goodwick Sands beneath the sea wall. A notable feature is the large, colourful mural depicting the Last Invasion of Britain, painted on the gable end of a building near the port. This reflects the area's specific historical significance from the 1797 French landing. The landscape is characterised by its functional relationship with the sea, from the breakwater-protected docks to the coastal path leading toward Strumble Head.
