Goodwick
Goodwick is a seaside town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, directly west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales went through Norse raids through the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements became established. 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 developed quickly to service this. The main market is now tourism although in the town's industrial past brick making was originally an important industry. Some fishing still takes place on a modest scale however most activity is centred on Milford Haven. The local beach, Goowick Sands, is where the defeated French invasion force gathered before their unconditional surrender on 24 February 1797. Fishguard and Goodwick train station served local rail visitors from the town, and from neighboring Fishguard, before the line was essentially closed to such travelers by the decrease 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 guests once more, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the newly introduced local trains. The town is additionally served by the Fishguard town service bus, which runs alternately from Harbour Village or Stop-and-Call, at first a different settlement, to Fishguard town hall. Two Fishguard to St. Davids bus routes also pass through the town. For all your home developments, make certain to identify reliable contractors in Goodwick to make certain of quality.
