by Steve – June 2025There's nowhere else in Wales like Portmeirion - it's colourful, quirky, and architecturally fascinating. A bit surreal in the best way, with beautiful views and gardens. It's a paid attraction, and more of a half-day wander than a full-on town visit.
Is it easy to park here?
Is this a place good to visit on a rainy day?
