Situated on a private peninsula overlooking stunning coastal scenery, the Italian Riviera meets rural Wales with a riot of colour and architectural styles at Portmeirion Village. Built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the Baroque style. Portmeirion is now one of Wales’ most popular tourist destinations, and has served as the location for numerous films and television shows, most famously as ‘The Village’ in the 1960s television show The Prisoner. 

 

Many of the buildings with the village are listed by Cadw, for their architectural and historical importance, and the gardens are listed, at Grade II.  It comprises a cluster of colour-washed buildings around a central piazza, scenic surroundings and extensive woodlands, two hotels, historic cottages, gift shops, spa & award winning restaurants.

 

Using an eco-friendly approach, he designed his architectural vision around a Mediterranean piazza. Endangered buildings and unwanted artefacts from all over the globe were transported and rebuilt to create a nest of loggias, grand porticoes and tiny terracotta-roofed houses, painted in bright colours. 

 

The gardens – a subtropical forest, features some of Britain’s largest trees, secret gardens, a derelict castle and rare flowers.  70 acres of exotic woodlands with 19 miles of pathways which cut through the forest, secret spaces and coastal coves. Discover the exotic Japanese Garden with its pagoda and lily-covered lake. Uncover secret sites like the Dog Cemetery, tangle Wood, Ghost Garden and Shelter Valley.

 

An enjoyable day of discovery.
