The old seaport town of Fishguard sits at the far west of Wales looking out over the Celtic sea and is in the middle of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Local estate agents in Fishguard say, unlike other Welsh coastal towns, it has not become a 'tourist town', with crowds and high prices; it's remained unspoilt. The harbour, on the estuary of the Gwaun River, is still used by small fishing boats as well as leisure craft. Fishguard is split into two parts, the upper main town with shops, pubs and cafés, and Lower Town which is much older with pretty cottages clustered around the old harbour where the River Gwaun reaches the sea. The typical types of property for sale in Fishguard in the town centre are Edwardian and Victorian houses. Other types of houses for sale in Fishguard and on the outskirts include bungalows, modern family homes and barn conversions.

Since 1999 Fishguard has been host to one of Wales' best traditional music festivals, and, with the rising popularity of folk music, Fishguard Folk Festival is now one of the country's best small festivals.
