BURRY? NO HURRY

BURRY? NO HURRY
Burry Port

There is always a new discovery when we go to Laugharne in Carmarthenshire, a town in welsh Wales. 

Halfway between Carmarthen and Llanelli is Burry Port, a harbour, marina, and on the other side of its lighthouse, a broad peaceful beach 

There is and a great cup of tea the Harbour Light Tea Room and B&B, Tel: 01554 830071  

The full, fascinating story on Burry is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burry_Portand reading it makes a return visit essential.


In Laugharne we also connected with familiar places, The Castle View Fish and Chip Restaurantowned by super-lovely Caroline, and the round-the-corner view of the boathouse where Dylan Thomas composed his later writings, perched high above the sleepy estuary.

 . . . And the view, across the town rooftops, from outside The Portreeve Tafarn, looking into the sun falling behind the town’s Rookery listening to Stan, the owner’s latest mix tape.

Pendine Sands
Pendine Sands, four miles west of Laugharne, a six-mile long beach, well six miles when the MOD is not testing munitions. In the sea, immediately opposite the village’s front, are often a flock of youngsters in wet suits bobbing like seals fifty metres out in the sea. What a way to spend your school day afternoons!
