Laugharne just a 10 minute walk from Cwtch @ Forge Cottage

  • St Martins church, Laugharne where Dylan Thomas' wife is buried. A beautiful Church in a wonderful setting This church is well worth a visit, set in a wonderful place. The church is a Grade II listed building, constructed of limestone rubble. It consists of three-bayed chancel, four-bayed nave, north transept, south transept, tower, north porch, storehouse
  • Dylan Thomas Boathouse and Writing Shed, Laugharne - The Boathouse has a long history associated with the water trade of the estuary but became famous as the home of Dylan Thomas from 1949 to 1953 - the last four years of his life. He worked in the boatshed, writing some of his most famous works there looking out over the water, and the influence of this 'heron priested shore' is evident in his work. The Boathouse is now open as a museum - check the opening times on the website www.dylanthomasboathouse.com 
  • Laugharne Castle is a ruin which dominates the town riverside. First built in the 11th C as an earth and timber structure, it was built in stone in the 13th & 14th C's, turned into a Tudor mansion in the 16th and now for over 20 years has undergone painstaking archaeological investigation and restoration. The magnificent Georgian and Victorian gardens overlooking the river Taf were an inspiration to the two great modern writers, Richard Hughes and Dylan Thomas - in fact, there is a turret room in the castle grounds which overlooks the estuary, laid out as Dylan Thomas used it.
  • Estuary and Salt Marshes are fabulous for nature watchers and fishing.

Eating Out

  • Within walking distance of the cottage in the village of Broadway are 2 local pubs, Broadway Manor and Carpenters Arms 
  • Laugharne is just a 10-minute walk away with 3 pubs, 1 delicatessen and 4 restaurants. 
  • Poons street food is in walking distance -Thai and Asian street food in Dylan Thomas country isn't quite what you may come to expect, but Poon's, a tiny eaterie in Laugharne, ticks all the right boxes. Poon and partner Vince run this little gem of a cafe, which serves up authentic Thai.

Pendine Sands, Ginst Point and beach riding

  • Pendine Sands is a 7-mile stretch of beach running from Gilman Point to Laugharne Sands, occasionally used for motor racing and land speed record events.
  • However, a great variety of birds can be seen on a sandpit at Ginst Point; the extensive scrub attracts finches and other passerines and the inland areas, large flocks of golden plover and lapwings. (Ginst Point is used for weapons testing and so access is limited but usually available at weekends - phone ahead to avoid disappointment 01944 452310).
  • A favourite pastime on Pendine is beach horse riding - try the award-winning Marros Riding Centre
