Painted Head, Portmeirion


Painted Head, Portmeirion

Portmerion is the setting for the sometimes incomprehensible TV series "The Prisoner". Portmeirion was built by Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925 to 1973 to demonstrate that development of a naturally beautiful site need not result in its defilement. He wanted to practice what he preached as a conservationist and capmaigner for the protection of the environment.
