Overview

Join us for a walk with a literary flavour taking in many of the places associated with Dylan Thomas  including: Laugharne Castle, the Boat House where he lived  and the writing shed where he worked.
The walk follows the coastal path along the salt marsh before climbing St John's Hill where Dylan famously walked and was inspired to write his poem in October.

The walk then winds back along wooded paths to Laugharne before heading out again along ancient sunken lanes which open out to beautiful views of the Taff estuary.

We will then return to Laugharne to visit the church and cemetery when Dylan was buried and Brown’s Hotel where he often to be found.
