A town on the Welsh coast, once a herring fishery port, latterly the ferry port to Eire, who knows what’ll become of it now while we’re out of the EU.
Getting there
I travelled by train, on the day, I wrote this, there were 4 trains/day from Swansea, and when I travelled, each journey had a single coach train, with no seat reservations. I bought my ticket with trainline!

- There’s lots of history, it was obviously once much more important than it is today!
- The Lower Town, for the view, is best visited at high tide.
