Llareggub
Llareggub is a fictional town that features in
Under Milk Wood by
Dylan Thomas. Its name resembles other
Welsh place names, which often begin with
Llan- (meaning
church), but is actually derived from reversing the phrase "bugger all". In early published editions of the play it was often rendered (contrary to Thomas's wishes) as
Llaregyb or similar.
The map points to
Laugharne where Dylan Thomas lived for some years and which was probably the inspiration for the people of Llareggub, although the
topography of the town is thought to be based on
New Quay,
Ceredigion.
