In the winter they do a free entry with a ticket (availible in all sorts of free leaflets you pick up in wales)
Anyway we had arranged to meet a few people there, but because the weather looked rough. it ended up being just us and one other “family”.
Well we had a lovely time. The children played poo sticks, looked at flowers, watched fish’s swimming.. and eating A’s badge.. (it fell in the stream whilst she was watching the fish off the bridge)
The climbed climbing frames, swung down firemans poles, made flags from leaves and sticks, and even played “whats the time Mr Wolf”
Asha slept all the way home.
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.

<rant warning>
I was however rather annoyed when we called into one of there shops in Porthmadog, and was told.. ” the free period has ended we dont do the tickets anymore, and a letter from us saying you called in would do you no good” Luckily the friend had called into Tescos.. so we can go again next weeK.. I may well deliver some leaflets to them, and highlight that actually some of the free tickets are valid untill the 14th March.. not the 1st! </end rant>
