All Dylan Thomas Tourists get to Laugharne eventually.
Dylan was fascinated by Little Old Fashioned towns by the sea. This Boathouse on the 'heron-priested shore' of Laugharne was once Thomas's home. Now the building houses a museum in honour of the poet. |
| Dylan Thomas wrote a large part of his work in this shed. It has been preserved for visitors in its original state as he would have used it, including the paper litter. |  |

Laugharne's town hall, with its clock and weather cock,
supplied some of the imagery in Thomas's famous play. Under Milk Wood.
"We are not wholly bad or good Who live our lives under Milk Wood, And Thou, I know, will be the first To see our best side, nor our worst" DT. |
| High on a hill overlooking the village of Llanarthne stands Paxton's Tower. It was built in 1810 by Sir William Paxton as a memorial to Lord Nelson. |  |
