Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the Welsh hills, where each step unveils a tapestry woven with history, culture, and personal connection. Traverse the poetic landscapes that inspired Dylan Thomas, wandering through the Uplands where he was born and raised, and losing yourself in the tranquillity of Cwmdonkin Park, where Thomas's childhood adventures breathed life into his timeless works. Then, immerse yourself in the timeless charm of Laugharne, where Thomas found solace in his writing shed and echoes of his poignant verses still linger among the picturesque scenery.

As you wander through Pontarddulais, a landscape steeped in the tumultuous history of the Rebecca Riots, you'll be transported back to a time of dissent and defiance. Follow the path from Coed Bach Park to St Telio's Church, where gravestones whisper tales of rebellion, and pause at the Fountain Inn, a silent witness to the love and courage of Daniel Lewis and Elizabeth. Venture into the heart of Wales, where rugged mountainsides and haunting forests hold secrets untold. In 'Walking Welsh History', every trail is a journey of discovery, offering a glimpse into the soul of a nation shaped by its past.
