Family Attractions in WalesGuests of Wales holiday cottages should probably expect the unexpected when it comes to local attractions, as the area doesn’t like to play it safe! With the Dylan Thomas house still a firm favourite, the other things to do are as creative as the poet himself – great news for families and those after an escape. |

The Dylan Thomas Birth House‘Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night’, or, do not go to Mumbles without visiting the home of Dylan Thomas! Wales’ most treasured poet was born and raised in Swansea, and his family home is open to the public. What makes the two hour guided tours even more special is the detailed writings by the man himself, that still bring the Edwardian terrace to life. For a poet whose work became so enormous, you’ll be surprised at the tiny bedroom he called his own! This is a unique Wales attraction.
