About

Laugharne Township ward lies along the tidal estuary of the River Taf in southern Carmarthenshire. The area is defined by its historic core, a grid of narrow streets centred around the castle and town hall. Beyond this, the ward encompasses surrounding rural land, including farms and stretches of salt marsh that border the water. The estuary itself is a dominant feature, with its wide, muddy channels and shifting sands exposed at low tide.

The landscape is intrinsically linked to the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who spent his later years here. His writing shed, overlooking the estuary, remains a notable location. The area's economy has traditionally been connected to agriculture and the river, with quiet lanes leading out to the expansive views of the estuary and the opposite shore. The castle ruins stand as a reminder of the settlement's medieval importance as a fortified borough.
