Laugharne Castle/ Castell Talacharn

This is a majestic old castle on a commanding hill looking out over the River Tar. We got free entry using our Historic Scotland cards and received a very warm welcome from the staff. The building is in pretty good repair taking account of the recent restrictions due to COVID and the coastal position, but there are parts where caution needs to be used. There is a small gazebo that Dylan Thomas used to contemplate and write. There is plenty of Pay and Display car parking. Nice place worth a visit and a good stroll round. The surrounding town with its association to Dylan Thomas means that you can make a day of it.

We were camping in wales and wanted a break from the surroundings so decided to check out laugharne castle. Really well kept, the grounds are lovely and you can take dogs but it is very small. Only took 30 minutes to look around it all. The shops nice and so are the two ladies who work there. There are no toilets, you have to walk down the street where you are charged 20p for a not so nice experience. There was an ice cream van in the car park which served excellent ice creams. The area below the castle is really picturesque and a nice walk. I would recommend for a easy day out.

A fantastically preserved ruin! A little quest for the kids with dares and missing words make for fun learning! My toddler particularly liked the trimmed hedges as he ran around with only the top of his head visible. There are live actors dressed up and a small camp to get involved with. The ice cream is incredible!

Lovely To Experience Such A Beautiful Old Castle.. Really Nice Views, Dog friendly & Cute Little Shop With Nice Ladies Working There. Very Welcoming

Small but interesting site. Linked to Dylan Thomas amongst others and given the amazing views across the flats, it's understandable why it has inspired so many over the years. Only parts of the outer walls still remain. However, you can climb up inside one of the two great towers to enjoy the views from the top. The castle is the most striking feature of the picturesque village it dominates, and the regular flooding of the carpark and high street on certain high tides just adds to the charm of the place.
