A Conversation for Great Film Locations
Portmerion
Frankie Roberto Started conversation Sep 11, 2002
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 !
