The Dylan Thomas Birthplace
House Tours
Without exception, each visitor is welcomed as a friend. Come along and see Dylan’s tiny bedroom as it would have been in around 1934 when he was writing two thirds of his published work! Visits are suitable for both avid Dylan fans, or for those who have no knowledge of Dylan at all! Indeed some of our visitors come to just enjoy the house that has been restored back to 1914.
“Superb experience and great information from owner Geoff. A must visit for any Dylan Thomas fan”.
“Loved visiting Dylan Home ..there’s something spiritual about this place”.
“This is a wonderful museum. Sit in the front lounge & you are back in time to Dylan’s Christmas Story. So well presented. Highly recommended”.
“If you haven’t visited, why not? A must if your a poetry lover or visiting Swansea. Beautiful house steeped in history”.
