Ilkeston Cam On Holiday
In South West Wales - Part Seven
Lower Fishguard -

The
photos on this page were taken on Monday 15th July
As I continued
my walk along the quay at Lower Fishguard, the cottages and the
street lamps added to the "olde worlde" atmosphere
despite the presence of modern day vehicles parked on the waterfront.
|
Empty seats
beckoned invitingly to while away the time alongside tubs full
of flower displays but I kept on walking, wanting to see what
was around the next bend.
|
Even the wild
flowers seemed to be in harmony with the place and if anything,
enhanced rather than detracted from the view.
|
All too soon
the end of the quay came into sight but having come this far
I determined to carry on to the very end. And I was just in time
to see the ferry leaving Fishguard Harbour (actually at Goodwick)
bound for the North Sea and Ireland. 
|
On this side
of the harbour wall though two yachts anchored side by side showed
no signs of leaving the safe waters of Lower Fishguard.
|
 And right at the very end of the wall,
three young fisherman were catching crabs by the bucketful. Apparently
they were going to race them later and I assume they would then
be returned to the deep.
I have to
admit that when we first arrived in the main town of Fishguard,
I felt a pang of dissapointment. It was not at all what I had
expected but then having descended to the old part of town, I
had found that Lower Fishguard far exceeded my expectations.
It is just a delightful, relaxing place and will be high on the
list of places to go if, or should that be when, we return to
Pembrokeshire.
