Laugharne Castle
Laugharne, Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, SA33 4SF, WalesAbout
Laugharne's handsome old castle stands in the sleepy seaside town immortalised by Dylan Thomas. Its history concerns comfort as well as conflict.Medieval in origin, it was later transformed into a fine Elizabethan mansion. The castle saw active service during the Civil War, after which it declined into a romantic ruin. Its extensive restorations include a delightful victorian garden. Dylan Thomas and Richard Hughes, author of ‘A High Wind in Jamaica', worked in the summerhouse.
