Portmeirion & Chester

Portmeirion is set on its own private peninsula on the southern shores of beautiful Snowdonia. Created by Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis, it is best known for its stunning gardens and its enduring connection with the cult 1960's TV series, The Prisoner. With its fabulous architecture, sandy beaches and exotic sub-tropical gardens and woodland, Portmeirion is the perfect place to relax and unwind as you explore this magical Italianate village. We'll also get to visit wonderful Chester, awash with history and heritage and famous for its unforgettable half-timbered buildings. From the cobbled paths to cathedral spire, Chester offers buildings of every era, each carefully restored to retain the old world backdrop to the modern day bustle of vibrant city life. Chester is home to the unique 13th Century rows, half-timbered galleried shops, the largest Roman amphitheatre in Britain and a glorious cathedral.
