Welcome to 5 CWMDONKIN DRIVE - and join us on a journey through history. This house played a large part in shaping the style and output of one of the finest poets of the Twentieth Century. Dylan Thomas was born in the first floor front bedroom of the house in 1914 and continued to return to the family home until his parents moved out in 1937. Over two thirds of his published output was written in this house
The house is being restored to original condition when bought as a new house in 1914 and the progress of the work will be chronicled on this website. When the work is complete the house will be let as a themed holiday experience - for example, if you book for 14th August 2008 you will go to 5 Cwmdonkin Drive on 14th August 1914 - no phone, no television and no radio!
Make a booking enquiry now - only 300 people a year will be fortunate enough to enjoy the Cwmdonkin Drive Experience
