Just a few miles from Swansea is Mumbles, an ideal place to explore for a few hours or to make your home for a few days. The action centres around the Swansea Bay waterfront, fringed with a footpath that takes in sweeping panoramas of the distant city on one side and Mumbles Lighthouse and clifftops on the other. You’re spoiled for choice for ice-cream, with Ripples, Joe’s, and Verdi’s all superbly located for ambling along the waterfront with a sweet treat.
Step into a postcard in Tenby, the Pembrokeshire town perched on a headland surrounded by award-winning sandy beaches, and where the streets are lined with pretty pastel-coloured houses. The Normans left their mark on Tenby; the medieval castle walls built to fortify the town from Welsh rebellion still stand intact today. In terms of attractions, there’s Wales’s oldest independent museum, the fabulous Tenby Museum and Art Gallery plus National Trust property the Tudor Merchant’s House.
Laugharne (pronounced ‘Larn’) has become synonymous with the author Dylan Thomas, who dubbed it ‘the strangest town in Wales’. It might not seem like it but he was speaking with great fondness for the place. He lived in the town for the last four years of his life, writing Under Milk Wood from his quaint writing hut perched over the Taf Estuary, and he and his wife Caitlin lie buried in the churchyard of medieval St Martin’s Church. The Dylan Thomas Boathouse, where the family lived, is well worth a visit to investigate his life and works, and Laugharne Castle is a tranquil place for a wander; Thomas was inspired to write in its garden summerhouse.
