Monuments to visit Laugharne

Facing the Taf River, Laugharne Castle is a medieval castle built at the beginning of the 12th century, then transformed into a luxurious Elizabethan mansion by Sir John Perrot, the supposed illegitimate son of Henry VIII and half brother of Elizabeth ^I. In 1644, during the Civil War, the castle was taken by Cromwell's supporters. Today, it is nothing more than romantic ruins surrounded by secular cedars. But it is a pleasant visit that offers a beautiful view as it overlooks the estuary of the Taf River. Be careful, it's closed in the winter.

On the way, we pass in front of the boathouse where Dylan Thomas wrote. You will discover a bazaar of feathers and books, unchanged since his death. The Welsh poet and writer has made a profound contribution to the enrichment of the English language. In the house, suspended as if on stilts above the estuary, we can hear the poems recited by Dylan Thomas that were broadcast on the radio. A video retraces the artist's life by giving a voice to various authors. From the tea room tables, you can spend hours contemplating the view of the estuary.
