Barricades, Banisters & Preserving Portmeirion: Portmeirion Management Comments 
On The Issue

As a visitor to this site, you are probably an admirer of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis' Portmeirion. Much has been said recently about the rise of barricades and banisters in the private Italianate village that lies between the sea and the mountains in North West Wales. To set the record straight, please follow this link: www.portmeirion-village.com/en/news-detail.php?id=43 for Portmeirion's official statement on the situation. Sir Clough's point of view is evoked in the statement and should be respected before Portmeirion figuratively and literally becomes entangled in thorns like a twentieth century Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
