About 'euston to birmingham'|Designer Scrubs: Sir Terry Farell to shape Old Oak Common
On his 50th birthday, Beatle George Harrison stayed at Hotel Portmeirion in Wales, writing "Fab" in the guest book in 1993. He was one of many artists to find inspiration in this unusual Italianate-style village on the Irish Sea in North Wales. The small coastal Welsh village with the famous name is on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. It's a wonderful place for visitors to Great Britain to enjoy a bit of scenic Wales, including woodland walks, golden beaches, wildlife in the estuary, painted pastel buildings and catch-a-glimpse archways to a backdrop of green mountains. Purpose-built Portmeiron Although it looks more like a pretty Disney set, Portmeirion is actually a planned village from the late 1920s, making it one of Britain's newest. The architect/landscaper, Bertram Clough Williams-Ellis, conceived it, planned it, and built it as a private project. He aimed to illustrate that architecture could enhance a naturally beautiful site, much in Frank Lloyd Wright tone of voice, so to speak. Having identified such a location on an estuary of the Irish Sea, he acquired it in 1925, re-named it, and set about his brand of beautification over a lifetime. A ticket from the tollhouse To gain entry to the village, one buys a £10 ticket online or from the tollhouse, the last building Clough Williams-Ellis designed at age 93, thinking that there would be visitors to Portmeirion in future. This allows a walk around the village, the Victorian castle, beaches, the shops and cafés, spa, and the surrounding landscape and gardens. Stay awhile When the abundant rhododendrons are in bloom, a double guest room in Hotel Portmeirion for an early spring weekend 2013 begin at £169 (about $265.) Alternatively, one can stay in one of 11 rooms at Castell Deudraeth. The 17 Portmeirion Cottages with kitchen sleeping four to six have a minimum three night stay at about £1,000 ($1,575.) Portmeiron pottery Portmeiron in Wales is a destination attracting a quarter million visitors per year which shares its name with Portmeirion pottery made elsewhere, in Stoke-on-Trent in England. That factory produces a classic botanical design seen on nearly every breakfast table throughout the land. Grab a pottery souvenir if you must, but remember, it isn't made here. Getting there Portmeirion is 240 miles, or about 4.5 hours northwest from London via Birmingham. The train via Euston Station takes somewhat longer, but if you contact your hotel with your schedule, they will pick you up at the station. Weekends are busy, especially during the autumn festivals. |
