Fishguard Fort was built between 1781-85 after the American privateer Black Prince raided the port when locals refused to pay £1,000 ransom for a seized boat. A few years later, in 1797, the fort successfully warded off an invasion by the French with a single cannonball. These days, the ruins make for an interesting place to explore and afford great views.
