Goodwick (English /ˈɡʊdɨk/; Welsh: Wdig) is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, immediately west of its twin town of Fishguard. Goodwick and Fishguard together now form a Pembrokeshire town community council area. Goodwick was original a small fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work commenced on a railway connection and harbour, for the terminus of the Great Western Railway line, with a connection to a ferry service to Rosslaire in County Wexford, Ireland, and which survives to the present day and the village grew rapidly to service this.
The main industry is now tourism although in the town's industrial past brick making was once an important industry. Just this year (2012) the village railway station, located just to the south of the Fishguard Harbour main station, was re-opened after many years of dereliction. Some fishing still takes place on a small scale but most fishing activity in the County is centered around Milford Haven to the south.
