Travel writers from Time Out have curated a list of the 15 most breathtaking destinations in the UK, and a village in North Wales has secured its spot among them. Portmeirion, an Italianate village crafted by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, has captured the hearts of travelers and earned its place on this prestigious list.

Located near Penrhyndeudraeth, Portmeirion has long been a beloved attraction in Wales, drawing visitors with its stunning architecture and captivating ambiance. Described by Time Out's writers as "something out of a dream," Portmeirion offers a tranquil escape reminiscent of Mediterranean charm.

The accolade from Time Out is expected to further boost tourism to Portmeirion, showcasing its allure to a broader audience. With its vibrant facades, romantic atmosphere, and picturesque surroundings, Portmeirion continues to enchant visitors from near and far.

Portmeirion is also famous for hosting events and festivals throughout the year, including music concerts, arts and crafts fairs, and food festivals such as Festival No. 6 or the Portmeirion Food and Craft Festival that any traveler can enjoy.
