Laugharne's handsome old castle stands in the sleepy sea town immortalized by Dylan Thomas. Its history concerns comfort as well as conflict (medieval in origin, it was later transformed into a fine Elizabethan mansion). The castle last saw active service during the Civil War, after which it declined into a romantic ruin. Its extensive restorations include a Victorian garden. Dylan Thomas and Richard Hughes, author of the well-known book A High Wind in Jamaica, worked in the garden gazebo.
