A mile or two away from Goodwick lies Lower Fishguard, its harbour commercially used for herring fishing in the 18th and 19th century. The original settlement dates to 1000 AD. Moby Dick, the movie with Gregory Peck in 1956, was filmed here. Under Milk Wood, the 1972 movie from the Dylan Thomas play, was also filmed here and starred Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and Peter O'Toole. Apparently, Richard Burton left his mark on the town with many a night at The Ship Inn, a classic 18th century seaside pub. They say Liz filmed her scenes from London.
