| The playground on Goodwick Parrog was very popular with local children for decades. They can be seen using the swings and see-saw with a “Witches Hat” roundabout beyond that. This area of the Parrog has been extensively altered in recent years to improve vehicular and pedestrian access to Fishguard and Goodwick Harbour and the ferry terminal. The large white house in the background with a window in the ‘V’ of the roof, was used by the GWR as a hospital during the construction of the railway. Today the house is called “Beach House” originally the house was called “Brynhyfryd” | Roedd y maes chwarae ar Y Parrog, Wdig, yn boblogaidd iawn gyda phlant lleol am ddegawdau. Gellir eu gweld yn defnyddio’r siglenni a si-so gyda chylchfan “Het y Wrach” y tu hwnt i hynny. Mae’r rhan hon o’r Parrog wedi’i newid yn helaeth yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf i wella mynediad cerbydau a cherddwyr i Harbwr Abergwaun ac Wdig a’r derfynfa fferi. Roedd y tŷ gwyn mawr yn y cefndir sydd â ffenestr yn y ‘V’ y to, yn cael ei ddefnyddio gan y GWR fel ysbyty yn ystod adeiladu’r rheilffordd. Heddiw gelwir y tý yn “Beach House” ond yn wreiddiol galwyd y tý yn “Brynhyfryd”. |

We lived in Beach House when we moved down from the Cw I think about 1955 I didnt realise it was used as a hospital. We stayed there some years before moving across the railway track to live in Beach Cottage before they demolished those to make way for the first new road to the harbour in the late 1960s
