Subject: RE: BS: Suggest great places to visit Devon/Cornwall
My wife and I spent a week in the village of Laugharne in Wales(population just shy of 3,000)a few years ago, and enjoyed that whole area very much. Of interest there is the Boathouse where Dylan Thomas and his wife, Caitlan and their three children spent part of the last four years of his life. While living at the Boat House, he wrote "Under Milkwood". We took a side trip to Dartington Hall in south Devon. I was especially interested in visiting there because it belonged at one time to the family of a good friend of mine who was Deputy Director of the National Endowment for the Arts when I worked there in the early 1970's. If you are anywhere near Totnes, Dartington Hall is worth visiting.
