Goodwick
Goodwick is a seaside town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, directly west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales were subjected to Norse raids during the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements ended up being set up. Goodwick was a small fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work begun on a train connection and harbour, and the village expanded quickly to service this. The primary industry is now tourism though in the town's industrial past brick making was formerly an important industry. Some fishing still takes place on a small scale but most activity is centred on Milford Haven. The nearby beach, Goowick Sands, is where the overpowered French invasion force convened preceding their outright surrender on 24 February 1797. Fishguard and Goodwick train station served regional rail visitors from the town, and from nearby Fishguard, before the line was essentially closed to such travelers by the reduction in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains only served Fishguard Harbour and the station fell into disrepair. Following financial investment from Network Rail and Pembrokeshire County Council the station has now been re-built and was reopened for travelers once more, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the newly launched local trains. The town is also served by the Fishguard town service bus, which runs alternately from Harbour Village or Stop-and-Call, at first a separate settlement, to Fishguard town hall. Two Fishguard to St. Davids bus routes additionally travel through the town. For all your home improvements, be sure to identify trusted experts in Goodwick to make certain of quality.
