Located near Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. The Boathouse is a house in Laugharne, Wales, in which the poet Dylan Thomas lived with his family between 1949 and 1953. It was in this house that he wrote many major pieces. The house is set in a cliff overlooking the Tâf Estuary. Thomas first visited the village of Laugharne with a friend, the poet Glyn Jones, in 1934 and was attracted to it. He moved there four years later, and the Boat House was later bought for him by Margaret Taylor, first wife of the historian A. J. P. Taylor.
