Laugharne

Picnic Location  

This is the spot to picnic like a poet and playwright. The low sunlight of winter adds to the magic of Laugharne where the medieval castle looms above the estuary and the Dylan Thomas Boathouse is bathed in golden light and the shadows fall across his writing desk. Pick a bench below the castle or lay a rug on the super soft mossy grassy banks of the River Taf and toast the town that this literary legend fell in love with. Muse on Dylan’s words and understand how the inky inspiration of this hallowed Milk Wood location was created.

Picnic tip: Take a tipple, Dylan Tomas would approve! Or, drop in at Browns Hotel on your way home, the poet’s favourite pub.

How to reach: there’s a car park in the shadow of the castle in Laugharne.
