Portmeirion Village

Listed under Visitor Attractions in Wales, United Kingdom.

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.
