The rugged North Pembrokehsire coastline offers an abundance of sandy beaches nestling in the coves along Britain’s only coastal National Park. There is plenty to do whether you are a keen fisherman, golfer or bird watcher. For younger guests, apart from all the sandy beaches, there is a theme park at Oakwood, Folly Farm and Bluestone National Park Resort to name but a few local attractions easily accessable by car.

Fishguard Harbour itself was once a port of call for transatlantic liners such at the RMS Mauretania and is now a principle port for ferry passengers to Ireland.

Fishguard also has its very own independent theatre, Theatr Gwaun, which is a community run theatre that puts on plays and films, live music and lots of other entertainment. Check out their website for more information
