King Gaddle Cottage is just over one mile from Laugharne, an
ancient medieval township steeped in history
with its own unique charm and character.
Laugharne has been an inspiration to many artists and
writers, among them Dylan Thomas who described Laugharne as “this timeless
mild, beguiling island of a town”.
The Boathouse where he once lived and wrote many of his works, most
famously “Under Milk Wood” is now a heritage centre and he is buried in the
graveyard of the 13th century St Martins Church.
The beautiful ruins of the 12th century Norman
castle have lovely Georgian and Victorian gardens.
The castle is open to the public between April and
September. Laugharne also
has a silversmith and a
pottery and glass blowing workshop. There are also several pubs and a choice
of cafés and restaurants.

We have so many beautiful beaches within easy reach, the
nearest of which, Pendine, is only three miles away. A few more miles along the coast road is
Amroth beach where the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path
begins. As you carry
on along the coast road you will be spoilt for choice as you discover many
more
lovely places. The
quaint seaside town of Tenby
with its golden sandy beaches is only 14 miles away.

If you prefer rolling countryside and lush green valleys
Carmarthenshire’s landscapes are timeless.
The county is home to the National Botanic Garden
