Laugharne Castle

This is a must see for any visitor to the valley, the cute little town is perched above the beautiful salt marsh, a really interesting area of intertidal habitat. The town is lovely in its own right; however, it is also home to Dylan Thomas’ Boathouse which is also a great little walk out on the low cliff tops looking across this very active estuary with the lovely interlacing wetlands. 

To top it all there is also the spectacular 13th century castle, towering above the marsh and Taf estuary. A ‘brown as owls’ castle which was beloved of Dylan, keeping watch above the water. 

And if you’re feeling peckish Dylan’s Boathouse, owned by the National Trust is now a tea room overlooking the estuary.
