- Park at the SA1 Waterfront or Quadrant car park. Swansea Market closes on Sundays. Check tide tables before walking to Worm's Head; the causeway is passable for 2 hours each side of low tide only. Use the Salterns or North Beach park-and-ride in summer. The walled streets fill quickly and parking inside the town walls is very limited. Check MOD range schedules before visiting Stack Rocks and the Green Bridge; the approach road closes for live firing at Castlemartin. Book Ramsey Island trips with Thousand Islands Expeditions several weeks ahead in summer. Whale and dolphin sightings are common on the crossings. Stay in Lower Fishguard for harbour views rather than the upper town. The Royal Oak Inn, where the 1797 French surrender was signed, is worth a visit. Walk up Carn Ingli for a 360-degree view. The path starts at the top of the lane behind the castle ruins; allow 90 minutes for the round trip. The A40 via Carmarthen is the fastest route home; the A487 coastal road via Cardigan and Aberaeron is more scenic if you have time.
