Location: Portmeirion
Portmeirion is engrained in the consciousness of an entire generation that grew up during the swinging sixties - thanks to its starring role in the cult TV series The Prisoner. Clough Williams Ellis' Italianate village in the heart of Snowdonia is a true architectural gem and has also been the backdrop for other TV shows including Brideshead Revisited and Cold Feet.
After marvelling at the fruits of Clough Williams Ellis' weird and wonderful labours those with a taste for the luxurious can sample the best in local seafood served up in the restaurant of the palatial Castell Deudraeth Hotel. But for those with more modest means nearby village Penrhyndeudraeth has a fantastic Deli.
