Castell Talacharn - Laugharne Castle

Castell ‘brown fel tylluanod’ Dylan Thomas
Dylan Thomas’s ‘brown as owls’ castle Think Laugharne, think Dylan Thomas. Think Laugharne, think castle too.

A bittersweet love affair between townsfolk and resident poet, conducted via prickly poems and supremely clever short stories. The magnificent medieval castle turned Tudor mansion later became the perfect antidote to writer’s block. Both Dylan and author Richard Hughes put pen to paper in the castle’s garden summerhouse. Mae Talacharn yn adnabyddus am ei gysylltiad â Dylan Thomas. Carwriaeth chwer

wfelys rhwng pobl y dref a’r bardd a fu’n byw yno, drwy farddoniaeth bigog a storïau byrion hynod glyfar. Mae’r castell hefyd yn un o nodweddion amlycaf Talacharn. Daeth y castell canoloesol gwych hwn a drowyd yn blasty Tuduraidd yn fan delfrydol i ysgrifenwyr. Bu Dylan a’r awdur Richard Hughes yn ysgrifennu yn y tŷ haf ar dir y castell
