SS6393 : Dylan Thomas's Cwmdonkin Park
near to Sketty, Swansea/Abertawe, Great Britain

Dylan Thomas's Cwmdonkin Park
The park is very a traditional one (it dates from 1874) and on a dull autumn afternoon not very cheerful in appearance. It lies only a stone's throw from Dylan Thomas's childhood home and in later life he described it thus
"that small, iron-railed universe of rockery, gravel-path, playbank, bowling-green, bandstand reservoir, chrysanthemum garden, …..in the grass one must keep off, I endured, with pleasure, the first agonies of unrequited love, the first slow boiling in the belly of a bad poem, the strutting and raven-locked self-dramatization of what, at that time seemed incurable adolescence."
