the Village of

Portmeirion

The best way to describe the "why" of Portmeirion is for me to quote its creator, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, who wrote" that one could develop a very beautiful site without defiling it and indeed, given sufficient loving care, that one might even enhance what nature had provided for a background".

The Triumphal Arch is the entrance for "residents of Portmeirion" and a car park, which is to the left of the arch.

triumphalarch2

This statue rests in the hollow of the Triumphal Arch.

redhouse

The building on the left is one of the souvenir shops, the Red House, and to the right the one and only "the Prisoner Shop". On the top of the wall of Priors Lodging, the beige building behind and to the right of the Prisoner Shop, you might notice a large sculpture of a snail.

reflectionpool

The reflecting pool is on the village green and to the right of the Campanile, or Bell Tower, is the Government House, which accommodated us nicely in the summer of nineteen ninety-eight.
