"Cherish the Past, Adorn the Present, Construct for the Future" - Sir Clough Williams-Ellis
Created by Welsh architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion Village was designed to show how a naturally beautiful site could be developed without spoiling it. Williams-Ellis acquired the site in 1925 and worked to complete his grand vision over the next 50 years, completing the Village as we know it today in 1976.
Clough hoped that his creation would inspire others.
