I returned to Wales for the annual Writers' and Artists' Holiday at the Fishguard Bay Hotel and I was delighted to see a new walking tour taking in the locations of the film of Under Milk Wood.
The whole tour takes about an hour and a half. If you are like me and have to go into shops, buy books, souvenirs and postcards, and look around, as well as taking photos, it would take much longer. That is a good thing if you are not in a hurry. You could fill a long weekend or a week.
If you are in a hurry, and don't want to bother with the places which are just facades, the best place for a one stop outing is to the pub down in Fishguard harbour.
Liz Taylor and Richard Burton who starred in the film stayed in what was and still is the largest hotel, the landmark Fishguard Bay Hotel, on the cliff above the station and departure point for the ferry from Wales to Ireland.
Go up to the hotel for a fine view over the bay to the opposite side. You can buy drinks in the bar. The hotel is open to non-residents. They also serve excellent food. (See next post.)
