Goodwick
Goodwick is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, immediately west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales underwent Norse raids throughout the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements ended up being developed. Goodwick was a small fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work started on a train connection and harbour, and the village grew swiftly to service this. The main market is now tourism although in the town's industrial past brick making was formerly an important market. Some fishing still occurs on a small scale but most activity is centred on Milford Haven. The local beach, Goowick Sands, is where the defeated French invasion force convened just before their outright surrender on 24 February 1797. Fishguard and Goodwick railway station served regional rail visitors from the town, and from close-by Fishguard, before the line was essentially closed to such guests by the reduction in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains merely served Fishguard Harbour and the station fell into disrepair. Following financial investment from Network Rail and Pembrokeshire County Council the station has actually now been re-built and was reopened for travelers once again, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the freshly launched local trains. The town is also served by the Fishguard town service bus, which runs alternately from Harbour Village or Stop-and-Call, formerly a separate settlement, to Fishguard town hall. Two Fishguard to St. Davids bus routes also go through the town. For all your home improvements, be sure to find dependable contractors in Goodwick to make certain of quality.
