Fishguard Fort.
This fort overlooks Fishguard harbour and was constructed for the Napoleonic Wars. The flight was with a DJI Mavic Air and the first time I've used POI mode - I could do with being a bit lower and the camera angled up more. It really needs sound which I'll have to look into.

Fishguard is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales. The town is divided into two parts, the main town of Fishguard and Lower Fishguard. Lower Fishguard (locally known as 'Lower Town') is believed to be the site of the original hamlet from which modern Fishguard has grown.
Fishguard is situated in a deep valley where the River Gwaun meets the sea, hence the Welsh name for Fishguard. It is a typical fishing village with a short tidal quay. The settlement stretches along the north slope of the valley.
The main town contains the parish church, the High Street and most of the modern development, and lies upon the hill to the south of Lower Fishguard, to which it is joined by a steep and winding hill. The western part of the town, facing Goodwick, grew up in the first decade of the 20th century with the development of Fishguard Harbour. Fishguard and Goodwick are now 'Twin Towns' with a joint Town Council.
The town is situated at the back of a north facing bay known as Fishguard Bay (Welsh: Bae Abergwaun) which offers protection from waves generated by prevailing westerly winds. It has a relatively mild climate due to its coastal position. The winds coming from the west or south-west have a determining influence on temperature and precipitation. There is an islet in Fishguard Bay, Needle Rock which reaches 131 feet (40 metres).
Wildlife around Fishguard is rich with a wide variety of colourful wild flowers and sea mammals including the grey seal, porpoises and dolphins. The local birdlife include Eurasian curlew, common redshank and sanderling regularly foraging in the lower Fishguard Harbour and European stonechat, great cormorant and northern fulmar can be seen from the coastal path.
The ancient Parliamentary Borough of Fishguard was contributory to the Borough of Haverfordwest. In 1907, it was created an urban district, which included Goodwick from 1934 until it was abolished in 1974. During the Second World War, the Fishguard Bay Hotel was Station IXc of Special Operations Executive where submersibles were tested in Fishguard Bay. Fishguard & Goodwick Golf Club was founded in 1921 and closed in the 1960s.
Outside Fishguard there is a stone monument commemorating the signing of the Peace Treaty after the last invasion of Britain in 1797. Women dressed in Welsh costume are said to have startled the invaders. The 19th century parish church of St Mary's contains a memorial stone to the heroine Jemima Nicholas. There is also a Bi-Centenary memorial stone monument in West Street, Fishguard to commemorate the invasion. A tapestry was created in 1997 to commemorate the invasion and is on display to the public in the Town Hall Library.
A regular ferry operated by Stena Line leaves for Rosslare in Ireland from the port of Fishguard Harbour (not actually in Fishguard, but a mile away at Goodwick). Fishguard is the terminus of the A40 London to Fishguard trunk road. It is on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Fishguard is served by Arriva Trains Wales from Fishguard Harbour and Fishguard and Goodwick stations. The stations serving Fishguard are on the West Wales Line, that continuing from Swansea as the South Wales Main Line and Great Western Main Line to London Paddington.

kayaking in Fishguard, Wales, UK
3 hour kayaking on windy day in Fishguard with Mayberry kayaking. Wasn't able to see the seals or caves due to the weather but they took us to another coastline nearby which was sheltered from the wind but with plenty of waves! Had an amazing time and took us out of our comfort zone on the big waves.

September NW'ly at Fishguard
Some of the most satisfying days in a Surfski don't have long, simple runners without paddling. I find the best are days when the waves are gloriously complex with cross chop, infills and reflections, all at different rhythms - and finding a way through - feeling the orchestral magnificence of the counterpoint and riding it anyway!
Very glad of the wonderful combination of speed, agility and stability in my Stellar SEL - brilliant boat.
Yet perhaps the best part is when you stop and let the joy of the journey soak in for a moment.
Here's a force 4-6 NW'ly pressing into Fishguard - fun!

BATTLE of FISHGUARD - WikiVidi Documentary
The Battle of Fishguard was a military invasion of Great Britain by Revolutionary France during the War of the First Coalition. The brief campaign, on 22–24 February 1797, is the most recent landing on British soil by a hostile foreign force, and thus is often referred to as the last invasion of Britain. The French General Lazare Hoche had devised a three-pronged attack on Britain in support of the Society of United Irishmen. Two forces would land in Britain as a diversionary effort, while the main body would land in Ireland. Adverse weather and ill-discipline halted two of the forces, but the third, aimed at landing in Wales and marching on Bristol, went ahead. After brief clashes with hastily assembled British forces and the local civilian population, the invading force's commander, Colonel William Tate, was forced into unconditional surrender on 24 February. In a related naval action, the British captured two of the expedition's vessels, a frigate and a corvette....

Pembrokeshire Part 2 Fishguard & St David's
The second part of our Welsh adventure back in April. Here, we explored the small towns around where we camped. Beautiful places steeped in history, and fascinating to explore.
It took some time to get round to editing. I wasn't so keen on looking back at our travels when I was unable to go on any more!
