A Dylan Thomas Break
Walking holidays on the Dylan Thomas Trail
 |
For many, Dylan Marlais
Thomas was the epitome of the wild Welshman. That man
amongst men fought with words to express his deepest
feelings for the earth and people that were his Wales.
Dylan was born in Wales in 1914. Fascinated by language,
he excelled in English and reading, but neglected other
subjects and dropped out of school at sixteen. His first
book, Eighteen Poems, was published to great acclaim
when he was twenty. Tragically, he died from alcoholism
at the age of 39 after a particularly long drinking
bout in New York City in 1953. |
Journey
with us to experience Wales as it is, quiet walks
in the wild countryside of Ceredigion – Cardigan
Bay in West Wales.
Passing
through Red Kite country.
Visit
locations still rich in the lore of Dylan, from Llannon
to New Quay. |
 |
| First,
we journey by the sea, for Dylan means “sea”,
the Dylan Thomas Trail starts in the small seaside town
of Llanon nr Aberystwyth, proceeding inland to Talsarn
and then following the valley of the river Aeron to
Aberaeron. From Aberaeron we make our way along the
coast to New Quay, identified as Dylan’s fictional
Llareggub, at a comfortable gait, savouring the beautiful
Welsh countryside, with its scenes of wild seas and
sweeping views. |

 |
In New
Quay there are many allusions to Dylan’s texts
and literary identities. |
