The best area to stay in Fishguard is the Lower Town, particularly for those who appreciate history and coastal views, or the Main Town for convenient access to amenities and the ferry terminal.Lower Town Fishguard is the older, more picturesque part of the town, located around the harbour. It's a very pretty area with colourful cottages lining the narrow streets that lead directly to the water. This historic area is where the French last invaded Britain in 1797, a story you can explore at the Last Invasion Tapestry. It's a wonderful spot for couples looking for a quiet, scenic base with easy access to coastal walks.The Main Town, or Upper Fishguard, sits on the hill overlooking the harbour. This is where you'll find the main shopping street, West Street, with its local shops, pubs, and eateries. It's also the most convenient location for accessing the Stena Line ferry terminal for trips to Ireland. Families might find the Main Town more practical due to its proximity to everyday conveniences and its slightly flatter layout.
