Portmeirion, GWN Specialty Attractions
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Specialty Attractions in Portmeirion, GWN, Wales.
Portmeirion is a small village that was built on a peninsula on the coast of northwest Wales between the years of 1925 and 1975. With Mediterranean style architecture and scenery, the village was built according to a vision held by one of Wales' leading architects of the time, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. The village features a central piazza, which is encircled by 50 buildings, as well as beaches and lush gardens. The area is of additional appeal because it is the original production location of the Portmeirion pottery line and the filming location of the cult-TV series The Prisoner, which was made in the 1960s.
