Lowertown harbour has being transformed into a vibrant haven of colour as part of the Visit Wales Colourful Communities programme.

Lowertown has been chosen as the pilot for a project that will see various houses and buildings around the Welsh coast bought to life with a variety of colours.

As part of the pilot the local community helped devise a bespoke palette of colours with paint experts The Little Greene Paint Company.

Visit Wales then committed to paint five buildings on Lowertown's Quay Street, chosen for their coastal location, the fact that they were part of an iconic view and that the property owners were ready and willing to take part.

Householders and the Yacht Club committee worked with Little Green to select colours from the palette for their properties and the result is a colourful harbour, reminiscent of centuries past when vibrantly painted buildings helped fisherman find their way home through the sea fog.

"It's a brilliant idea," said Martin Sykes, yacht club Vice Commodore. "Although it's an individual thing, I think the majority of people like the new colours. We have had a generally good reception so far."

Tree felling by Pembrokeshire County Council has also made the iconic view much more visible from the roads in and out of Lower Town.

The Colourful Communities programme aims to present colourful, characterful towns and villages along the Welsh coast.

The Lowertown colour palette will be presented to Fishguard and Goodwick at a later date and the colours made available for the local community to use.
