Laugharne is a pretty town in Carmarthenshire, with lovely views across the estuary and an impressive castle. It is also associated with writer Dylan Thomas who lived in the town for several years. The house he lived in, called the Boat House, can also be visited.

Garn Goch is an Iron Age fort, dating back some 2500 years. As such it is one of the oldest sites we have featured on this website (see also Maiden Castle). It is hard to imagine that this remote spot on the Brecon Beacons was once a large fortified settlement, with defensive banks and stone ramparts.

This castle is all about the views- the views from the estuary to the castle high up on the hill, and the views over the estuary from the castle. It is well worth the climb to reach the ruins.
