We all have dreams but not usually to build your own ideal village. One such architect had this dream back in the 1920s and lived to see his dream come true after 50 years in creation. He searched for the ideal location and found it in Wales by accident while sailing nearby. Port Meirion is an Italianate style village created by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis and today run as a charity as set up by his family.
Dodging several showers, we enjoyed several hours in the village as part of our last day in this part of Wales. The day also included a drive through parts of Snowdonia national park and several quaint villages. It took a few days to adjust to the somewhat slower pace of life in Beaumaris and but for another injection of Eton like class conversation with a couple at breakfast down from wherever to check over Will and Kate's place on Angelsea over the weekend, we could have really enjoyed it here.
