Number 5 Cwmdonkin Drive, in the Uplands district, is where Dylan Thomas was born in 1914 and lived for 23 years, writing most of his early poems here. The house has been restored with furnishings from 1914. Guided visits are by appointment, and the whole house can also be rented for a stay. Cwmdonkin Park nearby appears in his poems and makes a pleasant walk. It is about 10 minutes by bus from the city centre.
