Dylan Thomas's escape

Planning a holiday in West Wales? If so, then visit the getaway home of poet Dylan Thomas.  The rocky retreat makes the Daily Mail's list of six things visitors must do in West Wales, plus there's a good tea room nearby to boot!

From the Daily Mail:

Poet Dylan Thomas's life was often turbulent, but he was happiest at The Boathouse in Laugharne, his 'seashaken house on a breakneck of rocks'. It was there - his last address in Wales before he met his drink-fuelled death in New York in 1953  -  that he wrote Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, one of the most quoted of his works. The Boathouse, overlooking a tangle of inlets west of Carmarthen, is restored to look much as it would have during Thomas's time, and the property contains an exhibition of his work and life (www.dylanthomasboathouse.com). Then I called at the Owl And The Pussycat tea rooms in Laugharne for tea and a slice of excellent bara brith (Welsh fruit loaf).
