Portmeirion Village Photos |
Portmeirion Village (1925-75) designed and built in a Baroque style by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, is a fanciful and very popular tourist village in Gwynedd North Wales. Sir Clough drew on the image of a classic Italian village for his creation. Portmeirion has been a set for movies & television shows, most famously for the TV series "The Prisoner" (1960's). Portmeirion, which is owned by a charitable trust, is run mostly as a hotel. Day visitors are welcome but there is an admission charge. The well-known Portmeirion Pottery was established by Sir Clough's daughter in 1960 at Stoke-on-Trent. The pottery, with its floral designs, remains in business to this day. |
