I've managed to sneak a weekend off. Having explored many parts of Wales, I've never been to Laugharne, home of Dylan Thomas and the village on which he based his poem Under Milkwood, calling the place Llareggub (read it backwards!
The boathouse where he lived for the last four years of his life with wife Caitlin and children is now open during the summer months and has been reinstated to look as it did when he was alive.
A little further along the path is the writing shed where he did his work and again this has been left as it would have looked when he worked there.
And Laugharne itself is pretty too. You can walk around the foot of one of the many castles in Wales and enjoy the view of the estuary.
And if you're going to make a weekend of it, why not try The Cors for dinner. The old rectory has been transformed into a restaurant, with local specialities such as salt-marsh lamb served in a herb crust on the menu.
Love this
ReplyDeleteWould love to be living there one day. Stunning part of the world.
