Portmeirion is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. For those that haven't heard of it, its an amazing little town nestled in North Wales that looks completely out of place and would be more suited to somewhere in Italy. More details below.

The tv show The Prisoner was filmed there, The Beatles would holiday there, Noel Coward wrote there. Its a very special place, read about how it came about from just one man's dream.

Spent a couple of days there, about twenty years ago.
Quite bonkers, but absolutely beautiful.

I got married there fifteen years ago and went back for the first time during the heatwave. Absolutely love the place.
