]]> Situated on its own peninsula on the coast of Snowdonia is the village of Portmeirion. The slightly eccentric Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built it over fifty years ago, some say his inspiration was the town of Portofino in Italy. Visitors can wander around the streets that have featured in some cult television programmes. Portmeirion has been a firm favourite with celebrities such as Ingrid Bergman, Paul McCartney and Gregory Peck. Jools Holland was so enthused by his visit to the village; he used it as his inspiration when building his recording studio at home.
