Part of Snowdonia’s coastal region of Gwyned has been transformed into an Italianate resort village. Rumoured to be based on Portofino, the village’s creator, Sir Clough William-Ellis began constructing the site in 1925. Portmeiron has long been a source of inspiration for artists and writers. Noel Coward wrote “Blithe Spirit” in a suite in the village and the surreal television series “The Prisoner” was filmed here.
