Laugharne Castle, Castles and Forts Laugharne, Carmarthenshire - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

Laugharne is perhaps best known for its associations with Dylan Thomas, but for the past 20 years, the picturesque castle, sited on the Taf estuary, has been the subject of painstaking archaeological investigation and gradual restoration. Established in the early 12th century as an earthwork castle, Laugharne was rebuilt in stone by the Anglo-Norman de Brian family during the later 13th and early 14th centuries. It was converted into a Tudor mansion by Sir John Perrot in the later 16th century.
