Portmeirion, Gwynedd, North Wales
“Maybe I’m biased because I’m Welsh, but my heart always yearns to be on the other side of the Severn Bridge. Picturesque Portmeirion, which is home to Festival Number 6 (remember festivals and fun?), looks like something straight out of a fantasy book. Welsh Architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis modelled his tourist village on enchanting Italianate architecture. Even on a miserable and wet day as it was when we visited (see above), there’s still plenty to do. Snap its quirky rainbow buildings on the village tour, ramble along the scenic coastal route and have afternoon tea in the hotel overlooking the sea. Or if you’re feeling more adventurous, head to neighbouring Snowdonia’s Llechwedd Slate Caverns to go deeper underground or even off-roading on a lorry through a quarry.”
