Wales - Day 14

This was our last full day in Wales 😕.​

Such a beautiful place.​

After a late start & trying to find a laundromat, we headed off to Portmeirion.​

This is an artificial village built between 1925. & 1975.  It was the brain child of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.

It is based on Italian villages, especially Portofino on the Amalfi Coast. It reminded me a bit of Bellagio on Lake Como, but less real.

It also felt like 'Cockington Green' miniature village in Canberra, but on a human scale.

So, after 'pootling' or 'mooching' around the village & grabbing lunch, we meandered home.

Tomorrow, we drive back into England via Conwy Castle & St Winifred's holy well.Â
