NORTH WEST PEMBROKESHIRE
Lower Town Harbour
Dusk at the harbour in Lower Town, Fishguard. Once a bustling little cargo port with a fishing industry. At one time the locals were referred to as Sgadan Abergwaun -Fishguard herrings.
During 1797 the French tried to invade Fishguard. They were however thwarted in their attempts by the local Welsh ladies, who according to legend marched in site of the coast in full Welsh costume, and were mistaken by the French for troops. A famous tapestry commemorates the event.
Lower Town was also a major filming location the film “Under Milk Wood” by Dylan Thomas, starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
