Llandovery Museum  & Visitor Gateway

Reviewed By John5550 - Billingshurst, United Kingdom

Located near to the town's central car park, this small museum and visitor centre is well worth a short amount of your time. While the information and exhibits may be what you would expect from this type of resource, it is the staff and volunteers who make calling in worthwhile. This is a dog-friendly stop.

Beautiful place on the coast 12 miles from Carmarthen . A must for all fans of Welsh literary genius Dylan Thomas. The boathouse is a fantastic tribute to the man full of pictures memorabilia and handwritten letters from Dylan there is also a fantastic documentary about his life. The boathouse and writing shed are a short walk from the stunning castle.His grave iis in St Martins Church as you enter the town and you must visit Browns Hotel Dylan’s favourite pub

Reviewed By DrAnnaSG - Canterbury, United Kingdom

This museum was filled with interesting artefacts that explained the industry and crafts of the area. The children loved the fact that the staff put themselves out to be friendly and explain things to them; they were exceptional and made our visit fun and informative. The grounds are really lovely and there is a very nice, well maintained childrens playpark. We were amazed to find such a lovely place to visit that was totally free which was a huge bonus when so many attractions are so expensive. We would all highly recommend this place for both children and adults alike.
