Portmeirion

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

More fantasy village than historic home, Portmeiron is the work of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, a Welsh architect. He built it in 1927, setting it into the architecture of wooded hillside and beach. He wanted to show that 'the development of a naturally beautiful site need not lead to its defilement'. It became famous as the setting for a TV series, The Prisoner. There is an AV presentation on the development of the village, and cottages are rented as holiday homes. The internationally known Portmeirion Pottery, created by Sir Williams-Ellis' daughter, is sold in the village.
Garden: It is difficult to categorize Portmeiron - it is an experience! Clough Williams-Ellis created a fantasy village incorporating elements of Italian and Gothic design set in 85 acres of beautiful woodland gardens overlooking a harbour.
