Portmeirion is a colorful village in the Wales region in United Kingdom in the gray air of the north. An Italian village that will make you feel very far from its entrance, on the Amalfi Coast, one of the most colorful routes of the south. Here are the details of Portmeirion village, which is considered one of the architectural icons of the world.
The most beautiful part of my new life, which started two months ago in the UK, is undoubtedly that there are many new routes around which I can explore, share and explore. The United Kingdom consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Thanks to its proximity to the south, Wales has the most sunny days and beautiful beaches. Portmeirion was a surprise village in Wales, where we went to enjoy sunshine and camp in exquisite national parks.
Designed as a holiday village by Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion’s construction lasted from 1925 to 1976. During this long period, the Italian architecture was created by using the Italian architecture to make the visitors feel like they were in a different country on the Amalfi coast of Italy. Designed as an open air museum, the entrance fee is 12 pounds per day. You can spend the whole day in the village after paying this fee without time limitation. In the village, which is considered as an architectural heritage, you can spend a day or two, and there are two 4-star hotels and accommodation options in village houses.
The village, which is built around a giant square, has many restaurants, cafes and extraordinary stores where you can buy designer products. You can spend the entire day in the vicinity of the square where the fine music plays fine, or you can complete the 8-kilometer hike of the village’s forests and the coastal area. If you are lucky like me, you may also come across the classical music orchestra and increase the atmosphere of that magical atmosphere.
An authentic mini-train tour awaits you in the village, where there are statues, step-by-step statues, historic gates, exquisite flowers and botanical gardens. With this service, which is included in the entrance fee, you can reach the remote view of the village and reach to a hidden lake and Japanese gardens. If you are wondering how all these beauties are built and what processes are going on, you have the chance to watch a mini documentary film.
It is also possible to experience different activities in Portmeirion, one of the most striking corners of North Wales. You can attend the food and souvenir fair in the village, which is very lively in the new year, and you can go to the new year parties. Even if you are looking for an extraordinary wedding venue, this village will surprise your loved ones. For all these, you have to complete your pre-reservations on the website of the village, which has been prepared in detail.
Snowdonia National Park is just a few miles away. As the accommodation in the village cannot be predicted, you can make your stay in a hotel or rental house in the national park, as it is not very affordable. Or you can take your tent with me and have a wonderful camping experience on the mountain slopes. I recommend going early in the day to avoid the crowds and not matching your trip to the UK public holidays.
