Great Britain-Wales

Portmeirion village is a wonderfully eccentric slice of Italianesque architecture and Mediterranean serenity, overlooking the estuary of the River Dwyryd. Portmeirion was the brainchild of a single architect, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, who acquired this remote promontory in 1925 and didn't complete his dream project until 1975, when he was in his nineties.
