Summary
| Description |
This hotel and tourist attraction in north Wales was catapulted into fame by the 1960's cult TV series "The prisoner" starring Patrick McGoohan. From Wikipedia: The village of Portmeirion has been a source of inspiration for writers and television producers. Noël Coward wrote Blithe Spirit while staying there. George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells were also early visitors. In 1956 the village was visited by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and other famous visitors have included Gregory Peck, Ingrid Bergman and Paul McCartney. The village has many connections to the Beatles too. Their manager, Brian Epstein was a frequent visitor and George Harrison spent his 50th birthday in the village in 1993. It was while Harrison was in Portmeirion that he filmed interviews for The Beatles Anthology documentary. |
