Rest Area - West Wales Coast

Have a trip on thursday which will take me out that way. Need to find somewhere to rest up between Aberystwyth and Fishguard…Ideally not too far from the A487. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers! ■■■

You know you can’t go through Fishguard in an artic I take it?

Just artics right?

I’m not one of the mater race … just a rigid… but ya know, it’s not about the size… :grimacing:

Can’t read the width/weight restrictions on street view - what are they?

If your ok with lay-bys you will have plenty of options along the A487. And your will usually have a cracking view.

Or in Fishguard itself -

Or in Aberystwyth itself if you don’t get as far as you plan to -

No idea on any charges. Only time I park round here is when I get home.

Sorry just noticed about the restrictions - no idea about the limits I’ve always come in from the south to the docks.

As said plenty of lay-bys out of Aberystwyth on the road to Fishguard,car park shown above in Aberystwyth is free after 6pm and a short walk away from McDonald’s or a pub.

Ah you’ll be ok in a rigid. Length limit is 33ft if I remember rightly. If you can get to Fishguard there’s a big parking area behind the tesco express by the ferry, often a few trucks in there and a pub just up Road if you need eats. Enjoy the trip, that’s my part of the world and its some of the most beautiful scenery upon the planet

Cheers all - definitely looking forward to it as I love that part of the world. Walked the Pembrokeshire path in a past life. Happy days.

10mile south of Aberystwyth is llanrhystud on the a487 on the left is a dvsa testcentre next to a garage/costcutter plenty of free parking. 100 yds up the road pub does very good food.hth.

If I remember I’ll have a gander as I sail past.

I have a cunning plan - Fishguard Leisure Centre; £3.50 for a swim session. That’s my shower and daily exercise sorted. Then a stroll into the harbour for a pint. Really quite looking forward to this!
