Dylan Thomas first arrived in Laugharne in 1934, at the age of 19, and was instantly fascinated by the town. His death in 1953 at the age of 39 turned his talent into a legend. The Dylan Thomas Boathouse is now managed and maintained by his family. The attraction offers a rich history of the poet's creative life and provides a fabulous, atmospheric setting with great views over the estuary. Dylan Thomas Boathouse entrance has 40 steps leading down from the gate that joins the Wales Coastal Path. There is also an outdoor tearoom serving a selection of homemade cakes and drinks, and snacks accessible from the outside.

THE NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDEN OF WALES REVIEWS

Stunning, stunning, stunning!! Friendly welcome at the admission desk along with loads of great advice for exploring the gardens. Had such a wonderful time wandering through the gardens, tropical house, glasshouse and walled garden. Wonderful water features everywhere and exquisite landscaping and colours!!

This place is a must see. You can spend a day or half or a couple of hours exploring the different areas. There is something for everyone. The kids will love the Gruffalo trail and the playground. The glass house is full of exotic plants and you can enjoy a cream tea inside. There is a large cafe where you can get tasty treats. There is beautiful walled garden and as you exit lots of opportunities to buy plants and other garden objects.

Really enjoyed our family day out here. Lots of beautiful features and I didn't want to leave the dome due to the lovely atmosphere and temperature in there. Our little one enjoyed doing the Gruffulo trail and finding all the wildlife. She also loved the bees and playing on the play areas! We will be back.

DYLAN THOMAS BOATHOUSE REVIEWS

We strolled around the gorgeous picturesque town of Laugharne and followed the directions to Dylan Thomas’ Boathouse. We were blessed with beautiful weather and decided to sit outside on the terrace. The view is spectacular and the little lunch we had was very very pleasant! A soup, a sandwich and, of course, a Welsh Rarebit: utterly delicious. The staff is super friendly and the whole experience is definitely worth a visit here!

The Dylan Thomas Boathouse is an enchanting museum that boasts a lovely café with breathtaking sea views, perfectly reflecting the essence of Thomas' life. Inside, you'll find several rooms filled with interesting exhibits and plenty of options for purchasing souvenirs and books. The staff members are quick to assist with any inquiries and possess a wealth of knowledge on various subjects. I had a delightful conversation with one team member who shared my research interests, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Lovely spot to visit. The staff are lovely and the tea room has delicious scones and vegetable soup. For parking, find a spot on a side road off the main road or try one of the public car parks. A lovely coastal walk trail to get there from the castle too.

NATIONAL WOOL MUSEUM REVIEWS

Great museum telling the story of wool processing, lovely to see most if the staff crafting on the job, knitting and crochet... there were volunteers spinning too. Well worth a visit, nice small shop and great friendly cafe. Look out for the kids activities there is a great little book for them to fill in and a card of activity moments. Nice garden full of plants that can be used for natural dying. Lovely picnic area, water wheel, leat system. The village has some super walks look out for the leaflet with the maps of the routes.

Fantastic place, lots of information and machinery to watch. Fantastic staff, so friendly and welcoming. Can't believe it's free to get into. Superb food as well. Lovely shop with lots of beautiful things to buy. Highly recommend, even those on wheelchairs get to access all areas.

Easy to find, free, lots to see - we saw weaving in progress, plenty of parking. Would be good for kids and adults, nice cafe. A highlight in this year's travels. We liked it!
