Dylan Marlais Thomas, (October 27, 1914 – November 9, 1953) was a Welsh poet and writer.
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.

I don't know where it is, but I do remember being dragged there years ago as a child when I didn't even know who Dylan Thomas was. I vaguely remember it being quite a sweet and quaint place though. We saw his shed where he used to write or something. This was at least 20 years ago though so my memories may be slightly vauge!

It is a fictional place. It does not really exist in the same manner that Mordor and Narnia do not exist. He makes it seem like a real place because he is a skilled writer.
