A Conversation for Great Film Locations

Portmerion

Aside from being used as the location for the TV series The Prisoner, Portmerion has been used as a location by many different filming crews, mostly because its privately owned (including the streets) and because it looks so unusual. There are courtyards, a beach, a gardens, and lots of funny pink buildings which don't actually do anything. In fact, the whole place is a bit like a film set.

It was used as the location in the Dr Who story 'The Mask of Mandragora'. Beautiful place, full of quirks and unusual bits & pieces.

Went there once while a 'Six of One' meeting was taking place. 'Six of One' being a Prisoner fan club. I was so strange to see people dressed in blazers, boaters, capes etc and carrying unbrella's, wandering about the place. Of course everyone was at the 'Be seeing you' routine !
