Dylan Thomas Boathouse

The Dylan Thomas Boathouse stands on a cliff above the Taf Estuary, featuring two floors, original furnishings, and panoramic views across the water.

Margaret Taylor purchased this 19th-century building for poet Dylan Thomas in 1949, where he lived and wrote until his death in 1953.

The museum displays Thomas's memorabilia, including his father's desk, letters, photographs, and a collection of personal artifacts from his writing career.

Carmarthenshire County Council maintains the site as a museum with an adjacent café, offering visitors direct access to both the house and writing shed.

A letter from President Jimmy Carter and a photograph that traveled aboard Space Shuttle Columbia form part of the permanent exhibition.
