Top Rated Attractions in Laugharne

Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo provides the sort of childhood treats that adults are just as likely to enjoy. You can ride a tractor, stroke the noses of shire horses and try out your hand at falconry. You can bottle-feed lambs or hand-milk of goats. There are rheas (small ostriches) and wallabies that you can handle in the pets area. In addition, there's a circus workshop every day and a selection of vintage merry-go-rounds and other old-fashioned fairground attractions, all under cover.

Three Cliffs Bay is stunningly beautiful, especially near low tide. A huge expanse of sand follows the curves of the Pennard stream and curls round the grassy dunes that extend out from the western slopes. Water laps around the three cliffs which look like a section of dragon's neck, jutting out from the eastern point. The cliffs are a favorite with climbers with both easy and hard ascents. Beneath them an archway leads through to Pobbles Bay, which shares the beach with Three Cliffs and Oxwich Bay when the tide is right out. Swimming is not safe due to fast tidal flows and swirling currents. The bay can only be approached by a long walk, either from Penmaen or from Southgate via Pennard Castle.

Dylan Thomas was one of the brightest British literary artists of his time. His childhood home in Swansea is now a famous city monument. From detailed guided tours of the old house to tasting authentic English cuisine from that era, you can experience it all here at a very nominal price. Overall, it is an unmissable landmark in this seaside town.

This is an internationally reputed 19th century botanical garden. With its mature landscaping and views it is a delight at any time of year. The best time, however; is in late spring when everything is blooming with colour. The gardens cover 20 hectares (50 acres) and features a variety of bird and wildlife as well as 2,000 plant species, including a famous collection of rhododendrons & azaleas. There's an American skunk cabbage patch, a bluebell wood, bog gardens and a Japanese bridge with attendant waterfall. Tours are also available. The gardens originally belonged to Clyne Castle, a stately home built by Swansea industrialists and now part of the university. Beyond the gardens are Clyne Wood and the Clyne Valley Country Park, huge areas of green space with footpaths and a section of the Celtic Trail cycle route.

Lying between the university and the Sketty end of Gower Road, Singleton Park is the city's main green space. It's the venue for many local events from the Proms in the Park to the Swansea Show. It's a great place to laze on summer days, shaded by trees and with views over the sea or for walks on colder days. The highlight of the park is the walled botanical garden, at its most spectacular in August, but with a good array of winter-flowering plants as well. The temperate and tropical hot houses are always welcoming, with collections of cacti, rain forest plants, orchids and begonias.
