History

Portmeirion was designed and laid out by the celebrated architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (1883-1978) following his purchase of the estate, then called Aber Iâ, in 1926. The village evolved over several decades and was still being added to in the 1970s.

C19 dovecote associated with the original Aber Ia (now the hotel building; `Cloughed-up' by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis).

Exterior
