Your guide to Portmeirion
All About Portmeirion
In the heart of Gwynedd in the north of Wales, Portmeirion nestles on the edge of a secluded Snowdonian peninsula. Designed and constructed by a leading Welsh architect, Portmeirion emulates a typical Italian village inspired by Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Encompassing artefacts and Romantic, primarily Baroque, architectural elements from around the world, it has a magical, other-worldly feel to it. Portmeirion is colourful and intricately detailed, and there’s everything from imposing porticos and delicate frescoes to compact cottages with terracotta roofs to marvel at. The village was built over a period of 50 years, and its atmosphere continues to evoke the atmosphere and charm of the Mediterranean. The location has inspired numerous well-known writers and musicians, and is also famed as the setting for several influential television shows and movies. Just outside the village lie the remains of a medieval castle.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Portmeirion
Portmeirion is open seven days a week throughout the year, but be sure to check opening hours beforehand; it closes in the early evening so make sure you don’t arrive too late in the day. If you plan to get there by bus from Porthmadog, the service operates between March and October. Both spring and summer months are popular choices, but there are exceptional autumnal views as well, and a crisp winter’s day is also a good time to visit. Music and art lovers should choose September to visit or to book cottages in Portmeirion, as this is when a vibrant festival is held in and around the village. While there are many sunny days, this part of Wales also receives plenty of rain and its coastal setting means winds can be brisk, so check the forecast before setting out.
Top things to do in Portmeirion
The Gwyllt
Explore a 70-acre sub-tropical extravaganza comprising nearly 20 miles of winding paths, together with temples, hidden spaces, and stunning coastal views. Named after the Welsh for wild wood, The Gwyllt features some of the United Kingdom’s largest trees, along with spectacular displays of rhododendrons, azaleas, and camelias, plus numerous exotic and rare blooms. After taking in Ghost Garden and Shelter Valley, wander around a dazzling Japanese garden alongside a lily-strewn lake.
Amis Reunis
Translated as “Friends Reunited,” this is a famous stone boat that overlooks the estuary. It’s actually a replica of a historic trading ketch, sadly lost to the weather. It features the original masts and other elements salvaged from the wrecked vessel, the remains of which can be viewed on many days at low tide.
Dwyryd Estuary
Follow the coastal path toward the tip of the peninsula for panoramic views of mountain and coast. Blessed with white sandy beaches, the estuary offers hidden caves and a wealth of interesting plants to discover. For an adventure in the summer months, check the tide times to ensure safety and be prepared to get your feet wet before taking a short walk to the other side. There you’ll find the tidal island of Ynys Gifftan, right at the foot of Snowdonia.
