Colourful Communities - Fishguard Pilot
KHPR's Colourful Communities Pilot Project for Visit Wales in Lower Town, Fishguard, was completed on time, to budget and to widespread approval - finding the right combination of tide and weather to capture the outcomes at their best has taken a little longer.
Detached 5 star cottage just outside Porthgain | Hafan Penrhyn
This detached cottage with sea views is located on a quiet country lane in Llanrhian and is only a short drive (or walk) from the sea and the fishing village of Porthgain with its harbour, great local pub 'The Sloop' and seafood restaurant 'The Shed'.
There are many great beaches and coves, all nearby, including Abereiddy and Trefin. We can also recommend some great secluded beaches on arrival, but they are a secret, so please don't tell anyone else :). The ever popular Whitesands Beach is just 6 miles away and is great for surfing, bathing and family fun.
The St David's Peninsula is beautiful and contains St David's itself, Britains' smallest city. The Cathedral is well worth a visit and is only 6 miles away from the cottage. St David's has plenty of places to eat and drink, small local shops and a supermarket. Ramsey Island is a dramatic off-shore island teaming with bird and sea life. It is accessible by a regular boat service from St Justinian’s, which crosses the spectacular Ramsey Sound, with its infamous and treacherous reef, known as The Bitches. Many boat trips can be booked, including jet boat rides, fishing trips, bird watching, seal watching and even whale and dolphin watching trips. The coastline includes the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path section of the All Wales Coastal Path so it is great for walking. A shuttle bus runs near the property and can drop you off or pick you up form different points along the path. Coasteering is very popular in the area (our very own Meirion tried coasteering here) especially at the Blue Lagoon in Abereiddy and other popular activities include kayaking and surfing, with lessons and kit hire all available locally.
Fishguard is about 8 miles away. This town has a ferry port (ideal for a day trip to Ireland) and it also has a very interesting history: the last invasion of Britain took place here in 1797 and local hero, Jemima Nicholas, is alleged to have beaten back the French invaders wielding only a pitch fork. A special tapestry tells the story of this historical episode and can be seen in the Town Hall. Strumble Head is a rocky headland near Fishgaurd and with its towering cliffs and rocky landscape, it is also a great spot to watch the ferry coming into the harbour and to try and spot any dolphins in the bay.
For families, Folly Farm , Oakwood Theme Park and Hanger 5 Trampoline Park , Manor House Wildlife Park and Heatherton World of Activities are great all-weather attractions.
Grassholm Island (Filmed by Venture Jet, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK)
Sadly it wasn't possible to land on Grassholm yesterday to rescue gannets. The sea state was just lumpy but the trip out was punishing due to wind-driven spray (met with unflinching good humour by RSPB Ramsey wardens :-) ). Approaching Grassholm things didn't look too bad -- until we rounded the corner to check out the usual drop-off point. The problem was very localised, with 2 competing swells curling around the island -- either swell would have been manageable on its own but as they came together waves next to the cliffs doubled in size from almost nothing to what you see in the video.
Places to see in ( Goodwick - UK )
Places to see in ( Goodwick - UK )
Goodwick is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, immediately west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales were subjected to Norse raids during the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements became established. The place name probably derives from a combination of the old Norse forms: góðr (good) and vik (bay or cove) giving góðrvik.
Compare formation with Reykjavík (Smoking Bay) where reykr = 'smoke'.[1] However the South East facing hillside of Goodwick is sheltered from prevailing and salty SW winds and therefore naturally well tree-covered compared with the exposed headland above and the wet land of the bay. Many older developments in Goodwick have the name 'Goedwig' meaning forest - Goedwig Terrace, Villas, Chapel etc. Thus an alternative explanation for the name may be that it was Goedwig and Goorvik may just have been a happy coincidence for the invaders.
Goodwick was a small fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work commenced on a railway connection and harbour, and the village grew rapidly to service this. The main industry is now tourism although in the town's industrial past brick making was once an important industry. Some fishing still takes place on a small scale but most activity is centered on Milford Haven. The local beach, Goodwick Sands, is where the defeated French invasion force assembled prior to their unconditional surrender on 24 February 1797.
The harbour was constructed by blasting 1.6 million tonnes of rock from the hillside to make a 900 m long breakwater. The quarried-out area became the quay. The harbour was finally opened on 30 August 1906. Planned to be the end of the Great Western Railway's line and its major sea port, replacing Neyland, problems with the harbour (known as Fishguard Harbour) prevented larger ocean liners from docking. Accordingly, the harbour has a smaller inner breakwater protecting the remaining open side.
In October 2011 plans for Fishguard & Goodwick Marina were revealed in the Western Telegraph. The developers Conygar who hope to invest £100 million into the project have submitted plans to Pembrokeshire County Council for a 450 berth marina, 253 new residential flats and a 19-acre platform for the potential expansion of the existing Stena Line port. The scheme would also create a publicly accessible promenade and waterfront, and visitor parking as well as workshops, stores and ancillary facilities. If approved most of the proposed new developments will be sited by reclaiming land from the sea bed within the two existing breakwaters mainly near the current 'Ocean Lab' and alongside the existing ferry terminal access roads. Conygar have also exchanged contracts to acquire an eleven-acre site for a lorry stop and distribution park on the perimeter of the Stena Line owned port.
Fishguard & Goodwick railway station served local rail travellers from the town, and from nearby Fishguard, until the line was effectively closed to such passengers by the reduction in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains only served Fishguard Harbour and the station fell into disrepair. Following investment from Network Rail and Pembrokeshire County Council the station has now been re-built and was reopened for passengers again, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the newly introduced local trains.

St. David's, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Some brief clips of a visit to St. David's in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on a recent grey and damp day. This is Britain's smallest city, with a population of around 1,600. It started raining shortly after this, so we went in to St. David's Cathedral for shelter. Here's my video of St. David's Cathedral:
