Area Tours

Dylan wrote nearly two-thirds of his published works by the time he was in his early twenties. It is clear that his creativity was fuelled by the sights and sounds of his adolescence.

Suggested Itinerary:
We begin our tour at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive his 'Glamorgan Villa' in the Uplands where he was born and where so many of his works were also born. We wander through his 'world within the world of the sea-town' of Cwmdonkin Park to the site of Swansea Grammar School where his tutors tried to educate him, imagine the coffee smells of the old Kardomah Café where he and the 'gang' discussed all the cultural matters of the day...and girls! and of course the site old the Evening Post building where Dylan 'worked' as a junior reporter. All of these places that he recounted in his radio broadcasts 'Reminiscences of Childhood' & 'Return Journey'.

Onward then to the picturesque fishing village of Mumbles which became a second home to the young poet as he frequented the Mermaid Hotel and the Antelope, getting up to hi-jinks and wowing audiences in his turns at the Swansea Little Theatre!

From here we venture further west to Gower and its stunning landscape (declared Britain's first 'Area of Outstanding National Beauty' in 1965). Beaches, woodland and imagination - the area is the setting for some of Dylan's wonderful stories from 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog' - Could you spend the day on the imposing 'Worm's Head?' or perhaps run the length of the expansive sands of Rhossili?

Finish with a tour of the house where Dylan was born and lived for 23 years with his family, writing two-thirds of the material that would be used in his published work from the safe haven of his tiny bedroom. The house has been rescued from semi dereliction and restored to its condition as a new house when bought by the Thomas family in 1914 a few months before Dylan was born in the front bedroom.

Price includes driver & guide. Price excludes all chargeable entrance fees, lunch & refreshments.

Suggested Times: 10am to 4pm. Tours usually run on Tuesdays.
