Welsh wonder
Magical Portmeirion resembles a film set – and indeed, it once was. Flic Everett takes a trip to the hidden Italian village nestled between the hills of North Wales and the coast
It’s tough to plan holidays abroad this year – so it’s lucky North Wales has its own little slice of Italy, perched on the edge of the Llyn Peninsula.
Set in subtropical-style formal gardens and surrounded by glorious woodland wending down to the sandy beach, the village is made up 13 self-catering cottages, two luxury hotels, gift shops and cafes, a spa and a Gelateria that serves bara brith ice cream. Its quirky unexpectedness, just a couple of miles from the busy seaside town of Porthmadog, is part of its charm.

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.”
