Area Tours

Discover Dylan's West Wales, his famous boathouse, and old drinking haunts.

Suggested Itinerary:
Start 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.

On the way to the ancient township of Laugharne, or as Dylan called it 'the strangest town in Wales,' we take a slight detour and follow the course of the meandering River Towy to see the old farmhouse that inspired one of Dylan's greatest poems, the majestic 'Fernhill' where Dylan proclaimed himself 'Prince of the Apple towns.' From here we proceed to the stunning beach at Llansteffan whose castle sits atop the cliff looking over the 'three tongued bay' that is Carmarthen Bay. The area, as Dylan said, was a 'breeding box' for the Thomas family. Indeed he is right, he has very strong roots in this quiet and picturesque corner of Wales.

Laugharne and its imposing Norman built castle holds many 'must sees' for a Dylan Thomas fan including his first and second homes 'Eros' and 'Sea View,' his famed last home, the Boathouse, his writing shed and of course Browns Hotel. We end our trip in the only manner fitting, both Dylan and his wife Caitlin now lie at rest under a simple but moving white cross in the town's churchyard. Many lovers of the poet come and leave tiny mementos at the graveside, including coins, cigarettes, whiskey and notepads and pencils. Why do they do this? Nobody really knows, perhaps a small thank you for his life and incredible works. We think it's quite nice...
