Portmeirion, Wales - 12th May 2012
By: miapearl
Hello Mum,
This is going to be a long update with many photos! Today, we went to Portmeirion, an italianette village used in the 1960s cult TV series, The Prisoner. The village was designed by Clough Ellis, and most of the buildings have Grade II listed status.
This is the Gate House.
This is a mural inside the Gate House arch, painted by Hans Nathan Feibusch from Germany.
We descended down some steps by the Gate House.
That's the Hotel on the beach.
We are inside the grotto.
A look along the coast.
There's the hotel again and the Observatory Tower.
A view from the shore up to the village.
Admiral Nelson!
A view next to the Observatory Tower.
We walked back via the woodland trail, coming across a stump with tuppence pieces in it.
It looks quite pretty!
This is the Lighthouse
The Gloriette, not a "complete" building.
There's the Bell Tower.
The Bristole Colonnade, and The Pantheon (the Green Dome, in The Prisoner where Number 2 could often be found).
This is the Piazza, with The Gloriette.
Another view of the Bristol Colonnade.
The Bell Tower again.
Another statue.
View from near the Pantheon, of the Bell Tower and other buildings.
St Peter is on the balcony of the Toll House.
The Pantheon is up there.
The Colonnade again. And now it is time to go home.

My host tells me that the Olympic Flame is coming to her corner of north Wales. Maybe we can see it!
