PORTMEIRION | A full tour of Portmeirion, Wales showing the whole of the village, the harbour, beach, and The Prisoner filming locations. Portmeirion is a small village located in the county of Gwynedd in North Wales, United Kingdom. It is situated on the coast of the Dwyryd estuary, about 10 miles (16 km) east of the town of Porthmadog. Portmeirion is known for its unique architecture and Mediterranean-style buildings, and is a popular destination for tourists and visitors.
The village of Portmeirion was designed and built by the Welsh architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975. Williams-Ellis was inspired by the architecture and towns of the Mediterranean, and set out to create a unique and picturesque village on the coast of North Wales. The result was Portmeirion, a village that is known for its beautiful and unusual architecture.
The village of Portmeirion consists of a number of buildings and structures, including houses, shops, restaurants, and hotels. The buildings are all designed in a Mediterranean style, with white-washed walls and terracotta roofs. The village is surrounded by stunning natural scenery, including forests, gardens, and the estuary.
In addition to its unique architecture and beautiful surroundings, Portmeirion is also known for its range of attractions and activities. The village is home to a number of shops, restaurants, and cafes, offering a wide range of souvenirs, gifts, and local specialties. There are also several outdoor activities and adventures available in the area, including hiking, biking, and boating.
Overall, Portmeirion is a unique and beautiful village that offers something for everyone. Its Mediterranean-style architecture, beautiful surroundings, and range of attractions and activities make it a popular destination for tourists and visitors.
The last time we visited Portmeirion in North Wales it proved so popular that our viewers and subscribers asked us to revisit Wales and film the village again so here we are and we're so glad we did because this tourist attraction is just fantastic!
You can visit for the day and wander round the village and gardens or even stay here in the Portmeirion Hotel if you prefer - and there's plenty to explore here in this famous tourist destination.
The village of Portmeirion was also the filming location for the Patrick McGoohan tv show The Prisoner with many scenes being filmed in and around the village and it's buildings, beach and gardens.
Amongst the things to visit here are The Village, The Gardens and The Estuary and Beach. You can pay on the day or book tickets in advance for your visit.
You also may recognise the giant chessboard in the central piazza that's seen in so many photographs of Portmeirion over the years.
Other parts of Portmeirion Vilage include the Town Hall, Salutation Square, Battery Square and Campanile, Clifftop and Chantry Row, The Hotel and Quayside and the beautiful woodlands - all here for you to visit and explore!

When I visited last century, there was nobody about and I didn't know that people live there. It didn't cost me a penny and it was nice to wander freely around the place without anybody getting in the way.

Thank you so much for the video. I went last spring on a whim. Me and the missus had a long weekend in Barmouth, and we went up to Porthmadog and while having breakfast we were discussing what to do. I looked online and said Portmerion is near. ..she said its a bit pricey...I said what the hell let's go as I'd always wanted to go. Forget the price...we were there 6/7 hrs and didn't do everything and it rained, but we didn't care. I fell in love with the place and I can't wait till probably April when I go back...as yes I'm going back. Its so unique and beautiful. You don't just have the village you have the gardens too with trees from around the world. Sorry for long comment, just love the place

The Prisoner and Portmerion largely framed my early formative years and has been my moral compass for decades . I returned this weekend and noted the now extensive use of Prisoner related subjects from the signs and the numerous references to Patrick McGoohan all round the village , I found myself with a lump in my throat and overcome with emotion inside the Prisoner shop . That said , the village is just superb with attention to detail absolutely staggering . I love the place .....and I almost hate the place ! Its part of my very building block of my own humanity . McGoohan may have now escaped the village but we havnt , I havnt . Do I want to even try ?

I did a Christmas season at Butlins in Pwllheli and when the gig was over and I was giving a lift back to one of the crew, we decided to visit Portmerrion. It was totally deserted and we were the only people present. Its a fascinating place and it struck me at the time, that it was like wandering about inside somebody else's daymare.

This is incredible! I'm at the age where I watched "The Prisoner" series when it first aired. I've been intrigued by Portmeirion ever since and as a result, I've watched countless videos on the place. This is by far the best I've seen! It didn't hurt that you had a perfect beautiful day, but what a fabulous job! Thank you so much for filming and posting. 😎

If you can find a train to the local train station called Minfordd, you could probably get a taxi from there to the Portmeirion car park, which would be the quickest way. The car park is quite a way in from the entrance.

Not visited here for many years, it seems to have been tidied up a lot but not spoiled 👍. As well as the no dogs rule I'd also make a no screaming kids rule. Why do children have to scream? And why don't their parents tell them that screaming is for emergencies only.
