Wales - Portmeirion

We visited Portmeirion in 1998. Portmeirion is a popular tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the style of an Italian village. The architectural style is wonderful and it is a very nice place to stroll around, although it was overcast for our visit and the Welsh are some of the most friendliest people we have ever met. Portmeirion most famously serving as The Village in the 1960s television show "The Prisoner".
