Laugharne, Carmarthenshire a nice coastal village with a castle and Dylan Thomas’ boat house, where he wrote overlooking the estuary.

The castle stands on a low cliff by the side of the Coran stream, overlooking the estuary of the river Taf.

Laugharne may be the castle mentioned in about 1116 as the castle of Robert Courtemain, but the first definite reference to the Norman castle is in 1189 when, after the death of King Henry II, it was seized by the Lord Rhys, prince of Deheubarth.
