Portmeirion

Portmeirion combines Mediterranean-inspired architecture with the wooded shores of the Dwyryd estuary in a way that reflects its cultural position on the coast of north-west Wales. Created by architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975, this deliberately theatrical village uses a campanile, piazza and brightly painted façades to form a unified architectural composition. It is not a historic Italian settlement, but a Welsh experiment in place-making beside tidal water and woodland. Portmeirion became internationally familiar as the setting for the 1960s television series The Prisoner. Move on to other webcams in Wales to compare coastal settings around the Dwyryd estuary.
