The Dylan Thomas Boathouse at Laugharne

Dylan Thomas was one of the greatest writers from Wales and a giant in the 20th century.
Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea but his family roots were in Carmarthenshire and it was this country that provided him with a constant source of inspiration.

He lived at the boathouse for the last four years of his life during which time many major pieces of work were written – including Under Milk Wood.
The Boathouse, where Dylan and Caitlin lived with their children, Aeronwy, Llewelyn and Colm from 1949 to 1953, is now a heritage centre. The house now contains audio visual presentations, original furnishings and memorabilia, a themed bookshop, tearoom, viewing platform and terrace.

Set in a cliff overlooking the glorious ‘heron priested’ Taf Estuary the boathouse offers a fascinating visit including interpretation, bookshop and tea-room.
