Laugharne is a small riverside village on the estuary of the River Tâf in Carmarthenshire, Wales, famed for its tidal mudflats, saltmarshes and abundant birdlife. The skyline is dominated by the ruined Norman Laugharne Castle, while the scenic Boathouse where Dylan Thomas lived and wrote and the long‑running hospitality of Brown's Hotel give the place a strong literary and cultural pull.
Beyond the tourist draw, Laugharne retains an unusual civic tradition in its ancient town corporation and portreeve, and the local economy mixes small‑scale fishing and agriculture with a lively arts scene, galleries and events that sustain a close‑knit community despite the pressures of second homes and seasonal visitors.
