Portmeirion village

description

Clough Williams-Ellis built Portmeirion from 1925 to 1975 on a peninsula off the coast of Snowdonia to show
how 'the development of a naturally beautiful site need not lead to its defilement'. He fought for Beauty - "that strange necessity".  
The village is surrounded by seventy acres of woodland with garden trail and has a range of gift shops, cafes and restaurants.
