The footpath beyond the boathouse was closed in Nov 23 due to being unsafe and was still closed in January 2024 when I visited.

Poet, writer and broadcaster Dylan Thomas lived at the iconic Boathouse in Laugharne. The Boathouse terrace offers wonderful views of the Taf estuary and the Gower beyond. Prebooking is not required but due to its size only 12 visitors are allowed inside the house at any one time. There is limited seating in the outside tearoom which can be accessed externally.

Between the 12th and 16th centuries, this was the site of a Cistercian monastery. Today, the abbey's foundations are the only part of it still visible, but well worth taking a look at nonetheless.

September 20, 2022, Whitland Town Centre

If you're interested in settlements with long histories, Whitland has plenty of intrigue to offer. Originally a Cistercian abbey was here, which survived until Henry VIII's Dissolution and the ruins can still be seen to the north east of the town. In 930 AD, it's thought that the first ever Welsh assembly was held here, featuring a group of lawyers and church officials.
