22-24 February 1797 The Battle of Fishguard, in Pembrokeshire, Wales was the last invasion of mainland Britain. A legendary heroine, Jemima Nicholas, is reported to have tricked the French invaders into surrender by telling local women to dress in the cloaks and high black steeple-crowned hats of soldiers.
