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 course of the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements became set up. Goodwick was a modest fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, however in 1887 work started on a railway connection and harbour, and the village expanded rapidly to service this. The main industry is now tourism though in the town's industrial past brick making was at one time an important market. Some fishing still takes place on a small scale but most activity is centred on Milford Haven. The local beach, Goowick Sands, is where the overpowered French invasion force convened preceding their outright surrender on 24 February 1797. Fishguard and Goodwick railway station served regional rail travellers from the town, and from close-by Fishguard, before the line was effectively closed to such travelers by the drop in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains merely 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 passengers once again, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the newly introduced local trains. The town is also served by the Fishguard town service bus, which runs alternately from Harbour Village or Stop-and-Call, originally a detached settlement, to Fishguard town hall. Two Fishguard to St. Davids bus routes additionally go through the town. For all of your home developments, be sure to identify reliable professionals in Goodwick to make certain of quality.
