Years ago, as far back as the late 1960's, I was fascinated by a unique British TV show called The Prisoner. The series creator, Patrick McGoohan played the role of Number 6 who was jailed in a fascinating town called the Village.

Have you ever visited a village that was a worldwide TV star? If not, I urge you to stay at the unique Port Meirion Village in North Wales. It became famous as the result of a decidedly offbeat British TV show and, as you will see if you go there, there’s a marvelous collection of eccentric houses, homes and other buildings that were not only shaped in unconventional sizes, but that were also painted in a multitude of garish colors.
