Portmeirion 3

Perhaps more as a taster of what the place offers, but still I'm looking for something that might not fulfil the requirements of a travel guide. This is a very personal place and well rewarding as we get to know it better.

Following on from a comment by Horst, the lens I used for all the Portmeirion shots was the Pentax 18-135mm WR.

I like the cooler colours of number 1.

Just out of interest, is it some sort of private estate or do people own individual properties as in a regular town.

It's all part of Portmeirion Hotel and it's possible to rent any of these cottages just like any other holiday cottage. A toll is paid to enter the village as a day visitor.

Have a look on the internet and check out its history. The architecture was brought from all over the world and rebuilt here, from about the 1920s. Also remember "The Prisoner" was filmed here in 1967 or so, and the village became much more well known after that.
