The burial place of world renowned poet Dylan Thomas and his Wife. Go up the slope on the right hand side of the church, go through the iron gates on the right, go straight on across the grass and turn left after 50 yards and go up to about 20 yards and see the white cross. Well maintained, small bottle of his favourite tipple whiskey next to the cross. Churchyard full of birdsong.

Beautiful old church. We went to Laugharne to see Dylan Thomas's Boathouse and family home. Beautiful village and we wanted to see where Dylan had been buried alongwith his wife, Caitlin.
Very impressive church (some of which has been in situ since medieval times). Lovely graveyards.
Huge carpark which is free.

Lovely church yard. Probably most visited as the site of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas graves though a proper old fashioned churchyard and a joy to walk around. A real history of the area in the graves and tombs. Very well tended and a pleasure to explore. Church itself was locked up when I was there.

Visited the grave of Dylan Thomas. A white cross that stands out against the grey headstones of his deceased neighbours. Plenty of parking nearby.

Beautiful church and graveyard. Luckily there was an Open Doors day when we visited and there was a lovely, friendly lady who gave us lots of interesting information on the history of the church and the area.

Spectacular grounds with an abundance of memories.
Large graveyard absorbing every available space and over the footbridge which has the grave of Dylan Thomas, a white cross with his wife’s name on the opposite side to his. A sloping graveyard overlooking a small valley.
