Fishguard is the site of the
last invasion of the British Isles 1797, for more information on our
fascinating history please check this link;
French Invasion This is a fantastic location for filming, many productions have been shot here; Moby Dick, Under Milkwood, Die Another Day, to name but a few. We are proud and privileged to have a stunning coastline. The surrounding waters host a dazzling array of sea life both large and small.
The huge fin whale is occasionally seen. It weighs up to 70 tons and is the second biggest animal to ever have lived on our earth, after the blue whale. Both these giants feed on tiny shrimps and plankton. At seven tons, slightly larger than an African elephant but not much bigger than the fin whales tongue, the minke whale visits us mainly in the summer months.
Weighing in at only 70 kilos the diminutive harbour porpoise is almost the smallest cousin of the great whales and Pembrokeshire is one of the best places in Britain to see them. Fin Whale, Minke Whale, Pilot Whale, Killer Whale, Harbour Porpoise, Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin, Common Dolphin, White Sided Dolphin, Striped Dolphin, Risso’s Dolphin have all been seen in the area. Another leviathan that hunts in our waters is the mighty eight metre long Basking Shark. No need to avoid a dip in the briny though, as this is also a plankton eater. Swimming slowly with its cavernous mouth wide open, it constantly sieves tiny creatures out of the water. In doing so it filters hundreds of tons of water per hour. We take pride in our marvellous coastline, sometimes called the ‘The Dolphin Coast’, which gives the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful and majestic creatures on the planet. We must never forget how privileged we are and try and ensure this is possible for future generations.
