Laugharne, Medieval town in Carmarthenshire, Wales

Located on the estuary of the River Tâf, Laugharne features narrow streets lined with buildings that span centuries of architectural development.

The settlement received its first charter in 1291 from Sir Guy de Brian, establishing governance structures that continue to influence local administration.

Dylan Thomas wrote many of his works in Laugharne between 1949 and 1953, drawing inspiration from the town for his play Under Milk Wood.

The town center contains multiple accommodations, restaurants, and shops within walking distance of the main historical sites and coastal paths.

Laugharne Corporation maintains medieval governance practices through an original charter, making it one of the last surviving medieval corporations in Britain.
