- PORTMEIRION - A PLACE YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT TO FIND IN WALES// Hello dear all, We are back today with our Portmeirion vlog from last weekend. Portmeirion in North Wales is a beautiful Italian inspired village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It's very surreal and feels as if the Italian Riviera meets Rural Wales. Designed by the Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925-1976, Portmeirion village is so worth visiting with shops, hotels and self-catering cottages/apartments. Overlooking Cardigan Bay on the coast of Snowdonia, you have it all here especially on a glorious summer day. It was our 3rd time in Portmeirion and we always enjoy it so much.
We hope you will like the video. Kirsten & Joerg xx

Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job. Good luck 🌺🌼🌾👍
That means the world, thanks so much!
It is so lovely to see Joerg relax in front of the camera.Kirsten you are a natural presenter.
Thank you so much!
Thanks again for another incredible episode of beauty, relaxation and information! Love you both! ♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are so kind and just awesome people! Hope we can meet some day. Much much love.xxo
@@KirstenJoerg We definitely will. Bless you both ♥️
I’m from a township in Pennsylvania that was founded by Welsh settlers in the 1600s and we have a “Merion” ☺️ Very cool to see this video, such a beautiful place!
I looked up the history of Welsh settlers in Pennsylvian.Did not know any of it.Very interesting.I know the missionaries went to Patagonia and there is a place where only Welsh is spoken.
This is so interesting, will check this out! Thank you so much for watching!
I'm as Welsh as you can get. Totally fluent etc.
Pensilvainia?
It's a Welsh original name.
You should come and visit x
Sylfaen=entry.
Pen means head, or major etc.
Birth place of the American steel industry in Ystradgynlais, near to where I live.
Wales is such a lovely country, full of natural beauty and amazing history. I never would have guessed that you were in Wales walking through Portmeirion - just a magical place. And the weather - wow! Thank you as always, for letting us tag along to another beautiful location.
Such a beautiful setting and a stunning architectural achievement. I wish there were more architects with that kind of imagination!
It actually photographs better than it looks in real life as the proportions of the properties in the background are built to give illusions of greater size than they actually are. Ive stayed at the hotel and the real star is the estuary.....as Kirsten says - a spectacular spot. A great day out and very popular venue for weddings. If you stay in the houses or hotel you get to look around without the crowds.
I'm not a number!
Used to love watching the series, The Prisoner...in the late 1960s..
"Be seeing you!"
Should really check it out!
I was 13 when the Prisoner started on TV in 1967. I was old enough to stay up later but not old enough to go out with my friends. They were the days parents looked after their children rather than let them roam the streets. Anyway my family loved the programme just for where it was filmed. It was a cross between Spy Fiction, Science fiction, Allegory and Psychological Drama. However to this day I don’t think anyone really understood it. The only thing I liked was when they tried to escape the village and they had these huge balloons that were the size of humans that chased the escapee along the beach and captured them never to be seen again. When I went on holiday with my family we always went to lots of different places in the west county. I remember my mother always saying she didn’t want to go to Wales as it’s always cold and wet lol. However you have proved her wrong!
We really have to check out the series so we can have an opinion lol. Oh that makes me laugh so hard - we have been to Portmeirion 3 times (well, we lived in North Wales for some years too) and always had the best weather.

I love that show and the location!
Wales is absolutely stunning! I know I could live in this little Village.
It looks like a fairy tale place and it is gorgeous! I have never heard of this place but I would love to go there. So beautiful and thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching!
Your videos are not just beautiful, they are educational as well as inspirational. I always learn something new and would love to visit these places. This one in particular is simply stunning. The colorful houses, big hydrangea bushes, the sound of the bells, little bench that looks like a stage, the giant chess board that reminds me of Harry Potter... To just name a few. Thank you for showing us this beauty. 👌💕🙂
Thank you so much!
Hello from Chicago!
You are a delightful couple! Your videos are wonderful, as are your descriptions and the background music you provide!
Thanks so much!
OMG - I so wanted to visit here when we spent two weeks in England but it was too far out of the way. We loved the series, The Prisoner, and even have it on video. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!
Aww I think you would have loved it, it's so special.
What a lovely place!! So unusual and not what I thought Wales would be like.
What a beautiful place . I've read about it in Britain magazine and dream of visiting there and the rest of Wales . Thank you for taking us on your journeys 💕💕 🇨🇦
So happy you enjoyed it!
My jaw is already on the floor and I’m not even two minutes in. Those sunglasses look great on you Kirsten!🤩🤯
So happy that you're enjoying it - thank you so so much!!
Simply Magical!!! you both are a great gift to this turbulent world - such peace & joy you give - also love the delicate music as well! THANK YOU
Thank YOU so much!
What a beautiful place, from its colorful buildings to its many beautiful flower gardens. Thank you so much for sharing Wales beauty with us. It is now on the top of my list of must sees. Just fell in love with this city.
Thank you for sharing this video. I’ve wanted too visit Wales. Now I’m getting to see a slice of Wales through your eyes. I so enjoy you both.
So happy you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful place…I think my two favorite things were the architecture and colors! Thank you for this…
So glad you like it - yes, the pastel colours just make it so vibrant.
so Magical, so Italian and all so Beautiful and Charming ! The history of the place is very interesting and quite visionary ! Thanks for sharing an incredible destination to put on my wish list
Thank you so much for watching!
It's a lovely video. What a surprise a little bit of Italy in Wales. But it also makes me think about the Dutch Caribbean islands which has similar buildings and colours. Realy nice . We lived there for many years and our house was a soft vanilla colour .Thank you It's always a joy to travel with you to these lovely places. Greetings 🌷💟🇾🇪
Thanks so much! So true, the pastel colours are lovely.
Not only do l love your videos but l also love the music you choose ! Please keep up the good work 💕
Thanks so much!
So ein sommerlichen place to be.
So bunt und fröhlich.Und wundervolle Blumen. Ein herrlicher Ausflug.🥰
Danke fürs mitnehmen
Sehr gerne 🤗
Its looks stunning, I used to watch the prisoner every week back in the day . Thankyou for taking us there 🤗
I have been enjoying your channel immensely. I “discovered” it about 2 months ago, so there is a lot of catching up to do! My late husband and I loved to take off on mini day or two trips exploring. I am in the states so the scenery was different but included a mixture of historic sites, nature and antique markets.
All your references to Jane Austen etc made me realize that I have not read much English literature with the exception of Shakespeare. So you have inspired me to start with some women writers for my summer reading- Austen and Brontë. It’s been wonderful- Thank you!
Oh wow, that means so much - thank YOU!
👏👏👏👏Absolutely gorgeous. The hydrangeas were unbelievably gorgeous. I love this video.
Kirsten: Do you fancy an ice cream?
Joerg: Always!
😂
😂😂
Oh WOW, dort ist es ja wirklich herrlich! Sehr schön auch dieser kleine Leuchtturm bzw. Aussichtsturm! Wieder mal ein super tolles Video! Liebe Grüße an Euch! 🤗
Vielen lieben Dank! Ja, es ist wirklich schön, vor allem bei so tollem Wetter, weil man gleich am Wasser ist. Ganz liebe Grüße
Your video was wonderful. We also love Wales and were planning a holiday there in September but decided the Lake District might be better because we were only in Wales last September. However, after your beautiful video I think another trip to Wales maybe back on the agenda. We’re currently in Suffolk after a week in Norfolk and that was also fantastic! The beaches are just amazing. We are so lucky to be retired and to have a campervan! We can just take off whenever we feel like it and to be honest, we’re amazed at how love.y our country actually is. Your channel is a perfect reminder of what is just on our doorstep! A massive thanks to you and Joerg for that. Mind you, my husband loves Germany! 😂😂
Thanks so much Sylvia! Oh the Lake District is such a wonderful choice, you can do Wales next time :) Have the best time in Suffolk - you couldn't ask for better weather. Yes, so many great places to see here in the UK. So glad your hubs loves Germany, it's a gorgeous country too.
Oooo how lovely. I watched the prisoner as a child back in the 60s and in fact rewatched it here on UA-cam about a year or so ago. It was really lovely to see. Those hydrangea bushes are a delight. I agree that Wales truly is beautiful. Loved the little bit of fun right at the end of the video. I hear the UK is having quite a heatwave atm, so take care on your travels and stay hydrated. Lots of love from Egypt x Stella x ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much Stella! It was our 3rd time there and the hydrangeas are always so amazing. Hope all is well.
How absolutely lovely your tour of Port Merion was! It is very Italian style with the beautiful gardens, which you always showcase with the utmost care so we can enjoy it with you! A thousand thanks, another gorgeous video! Love the hydrangeas too Kirsten, so very pretty!
So so happy you enjoyed it!
Such an interesting place - so many buildings are so tiny I half-expected to see a child-size train circling the square, like Madurodam in Holland or a Legoland. Thanks for the aerial photos so we could see how the buildings relate to each other and to the hillside.
Oh it’s actually not like Legoland at all, buildings are regular size to be fair. It’s a great place to visit.
Kirsten, you're right it is absolutely gorgeous and since I am Italian (both parents are, though I am British born) I can really appreciate this video. My family are from Sicily and wonder if you and Joerg have ever visited the gorgeous island? I have to say I think it is an amazing place as well. Great video as always
So glad you like it! We haven't been to Sicily yet I'm afraid.
@@KirstenJoerg do try to go, I think you will love it :) Enjoying your channel very much, thank you !
Lovely video as usual Guys. Thanks for giving us such beautiful spots in the UK. It blows my mind the fact that it really looks like the Mediterranean meets Wales lol. I read a peculiar fact about Wales that they have the town with the longest name? and it's almost impossible to say it if you don't know the local language? A big Hug guys from the East coast of the USA. I wish I could be to UK rn.
Altogether now Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Thanks so much! Yes, indeed - it's this one (pretty crazy): Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
@@KirstenJoerg lol 😂 yes whatever you said. I’m kidding but definitely it’s a pretty long crazy name 🤗
Irgendwie wie im Märchenland, traumhaft schön, auch der Sandstrand. Bin immer wieder begeistert, was uns so mancher Architekt an echten Kunstwerken hinterlassen hat. Ohne die fantastischen Ideen dieser kreativen Köpfe wäre die Welt an Schönheit ein großes Stück weit ärmer.
Oh wie wahr, gut, dass es Visionäre gibt, die etwas Bleibendes hinterlassen.
Magnifique endroit, on se croirait vraiment en Italie. Merci.
Beautifully filmed.Some good shots,different to what I've seen before and I watched The Prisoner as a child.Loved the lilly pads and the incredible drone footage of the beach and coast..thank-you so much.Glad the weather was tip top..you seem to take it with you..so wonderful.I'm with you Kirsten about plastic.Have got rid of it in the home as much as possible.
Thanks so much Helen! It's such a great place.
Wales is beautiful 😍 ❤ loved it thank you
Absolutely incredible for me to find out that such an amazing Italian village (?) exists in the heart of Wales ! Simply, a gem ! Thank you !❤
Hallo, in was für wunderschöne Gegenden Großbritanniens ihr eure Zuschauer immer wieder führt... Herzlichen Dank dafür. Ich war noch nicht in Wales und hätte nie gedacht, dass es teilweise so mediterran ist. Mal wieder wunderschöne Aufnahmen, tolle Farben und zwei unaufdringliche, sympathische Menschen, die diese einzigartigen Orte zeigen.
Vielen Dank liebe Dagmar! Oh ja, auch in Wales wirkt sich der Goldstrom aus, deshalb auch Palmen wie im restlichen Großbritannien. Gibt sehr viel in Wales zu entdecken und Südwales ist wie Cornwall.
Portmeirion é como se fosse um daqueles pequenos reinos (fictícios) que vemos nos filmes românticos, mais lindo impossível; vocês dois mais uma vez mostrando como esse mundo pode ser belo e "diverso", basta ter tempo e "dinheiro" rsrsrs, para conhece-lo. Beijos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
So ein wunderschöner, bunter Ort! Kriegt man ja gleich super gute Laune 🥰🥰 und ihr hattet wirklich das perfekte Wetter. Ich muss unbedingt mal nach Wales. 😍 (Jörgs Humor ist einfach der Knaller, muss jedes Mal lachen 🤣👌🏻) Danke für ein wieder bezauberndes Video. ❤️
Vielen Dank liebe Lilli! Ja, es war ein rundum perfekter Tag und einfach so herrlich gleich am Wasser. Ganz liebe Grüße
Thank you so much for taking me on your adventures. I just adore you two and your videos! Jorg looks so happy eating his sorbet by the Geranium planters. Portmerion looks amazing. Love from Canada 🍁
Thank YOU!
What an intriguing village! The colors of the buildings are glorious and the gardens are so restful.
Огромное спасибо сказочное место обалденная природа цветы разноцветные домики просто чудо
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️
А я живу в Ташкенте, учу английский смотрю Ваш канал, моя Благодарность Вам!!!
That is really a special place! It is a bit a colonial style...unexpected in Wales but absolutly gorgeous!
You catch nice spots again....thank you for sharing 💞💞
It's truly spectacular, we just love it.
Unexpected. Visually fascinating. Thanks.
So glad you like it!
Watched the movie Prisoner, thanks. Enjoyed it.
Your videos are such a soothing balm for the soul! From your voices to the scenery you show, to your tours in general… Thank you so much for these lovely, lovely videos! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Portmeiron village is truly lovely. With it's different color buildings. So nice. Have a few collection of Portmeiron pottery at home. Thank you for sharing your wonderful visit. Love it.
Would be a lovely place to take your visiting parents and family. Wales is spectacular!.. Thank you for this really stunning and interesting video. Think I probably would break the bank in the pottery shop!
Kirsten, Joerg, I am totally absolutely taken by this incredibly beautiful town! You two look like you belong there! The colors are lovely as are all the flowers. I think anyone planning a Honeymoon this would be the trip of a lifetime. The water so beautiful. The tart you had looked so d-lish! I look forward to the next video and visiting again with y'all again. Be well and safe. YFATP 🇺🇸
Thanks so much!
I have watched your channel for a while-very enjoyable,so it was a delight to see another Reaction Video, featuring yourselves, from Natasha and Debbie of The Natasha and Debbie Show. They suggested that their own viewers let you know. I thoroughly enjoy all your Vlogs and I hadn't seen your Portmeirion video, which is indeed beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Well you two never cease to amaze me with your travel adventures; thanks for the lovely scenery..the colors of the row houses..and flowers galore!! Love it!!
Thank you!
Schön, euch wiederzusehen 😀!
Das war ja ein Ausflug in den mediterranen Teil der Insel ☀️. Es war mir gar nicht bewusst,dass es dort so schön ist. Die Pflanzen und Gärten- herrlich. Durch euch lernt man doch immer noch was Neues über GB kennen 😊! Liebe Grüße aus Köln von Regina und Jörg 👋
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Absolut, Wales ist immer wieder schön und beispielsweise ist Pembrokeshire im Süden wie Cornwall, nur wissen das viele Deutsche nicht und fahren nicht dorthin, was wir auch immer so schade finden. Liebe Grüße
@@KirstenJoerg Gut zu wissen 😃
How utterly beautiful. Doesn’t even look like the UK. Stunning 😍
I was was concerned not seeing you for a time but it was worth the wait! One of the most Beautiful Places On Earth, who new their was a British Italy! What a Lovely Breathtaking Escape, thanks so much for taking us with you! 👏🏻😍♥️
Aww thank you! We did mention in the Community tab that we weren't able to publish a video last week which we usually do if we can't stick to our schedule.
It's good to see you two again! Given the state of air travel these days, this is probably the best way to visit Italy 🙃 We watched The Prisoner - the bouncing white ball weirded me out! Another town for our want to go to list.... Have a fantastic week! 🌴🍧😊💕
Thanks so much Deborah! It really is - in perfect weather, it's the best place and no busy airports. Wishing you a lovely week too.
That was so unexpected and oh so stunning! Thank you both for always putting a smile on our faces! I could just smell the summer air . Wales looks so beautiful!
Cheers❤
Happy you enjoyed it!
OH I love the beautiful brightly painted buildings! OH my all of the amazing colors and varieties of Hydrangeas - I used to raise them in my yard in East Texas but I felt happy just to have the blue "snowballs"
Just stunning. Flabbergasted 🇦🇺🙋♀️
What a beautiful place! You're right. You probably have to visit to realize the full beauty BUT as usual, you certainly did it justice. Love the history you provide also.
Thanks so much!
Have never heard of this beautiful Village. What a wondrous place thank you for introducing me to it. Immediately upon viewing it just made my heart sing! Clough Williams-Ellis had such 'perfect vision' in developing such a glorious place. It is always a joy to follow you on a tour as you have such a unique and lovely way of presenting each place and I leave feeling almost as refreshed as if I had been on holiday. This may be one of my top favourites now. I had to laugh at your Wedding 'Bumping' it was so enjoyable!! Never change. Please. :-)
That's so kind, thank you so much Cindi!
Hi from Australia. Natasha & Debbie introduced me to your lovely video of Portmeirion and now I wish to see more of your adventures.
Thanks so much!
I only knew of this village from the show The Prisoner, never knew it was in Wales. Am even more interested in it now.
Italy in Wales.. Who could imagine?! It really did remind me of Italy and with that beautifully sunny day too! Would love to visit Wales one day. Thank you for taking us along!
Good evening🤍
I saw that you shot a new video and I smiled. It's so cool that you evoke a positive emotion🤗😊😊
The places you visit are beautiful because, you decorate them.
Your love makes the videos very light and deep✨💐🌸🌺
I'm from Georgia, my boyfriend is German. Next week I'm flying to Cologne🤩 to visit him. I can't wait to tell him about you.🥰
Bella is from Georgia.
Thanks so much Bella! How wonderful, Cologne is a lovely city - have a great time there.
I just saw this place on landscape artist of the year and had to see more. What a wonderful vision! 💖
The footage of the shore at low tide was mesmerizing!
Thank you!
What a beautiful day and a beautiful place. So lovely and amazing to be in wales. Blessings and hugs
Hi Kirsten and Joerg what a truly beautiful place, thank you both for showing us round, my husband and I had our fiftieth anniversary last year and we couldn’t celebrate as I was having treatment for Cancer, but as I am now recovering, it would be lovely to go there, so thanks to you two, I’m going to book it, much love to you both xxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad to hear that you're recovering now Stella! I think it would a lovely place to enjoy your 50th anniversary.
So beautiful looks almost tropical with the landscape and colors of the buildings. That would be a beautiful place to visit. Thank you for sharing.

Your video is beautifully made and presented. Have visited Portmeirion and the day was completely magical. Had lunch at the Portmeirion Hotel on their front lawn next to the water in hot sunshine.
What a beautiful place.
Wales is such a beautiful country. Has everything.

Thanks so much for watching.
Wonderful! Such a beautiful area. The aerial views were stunning!
What a spectacular and fun area! Looks like you both really enjoyed your time. 💜💜💜
It's the best place in summertime, honestly feels like the Riviera lol.
I like the way you film, just the right amount of the "big picture" and filming yourselves. Informative and charming!
Looks beautiful I would never think you were in Wales, more like abroad. Thank you for sharing.
I loved my trip to Portmeirion! Thanks for bringing back such beautiful memories! The hydrangeas were incredible there. Huge and in every color!
I am lucky to live in beautiful South Wales and I also love North Wales and have enjoyed visits to Portmeirion. I also collect Botanic range. So pretty.
Wonderful! We really love South Wales too (Pembrokeshire is a dream!) and do love the North for its dramatic landscape.
Portmeirion, what a beautiful place in this gorgeus world! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
♡from Brazil! 🇧🇷
I live Portmerion so much ! ❤ I'd love to stay in the self -catering ....Your video of the village is beautiful , what a gorgeous day ❤ Your outfit Kirsten suited the setting so well !
Oh wie schön Portmeiron zu sehen! Ich war hier in den Ferien zu einem Ausflug mit meinem Mann und meinem Sohn und es war wunderschön hier! Danke für eure tollen Einblicke und Eindrücke. 💕
Super, das freut uns! Ganz liebe Grüße
Ein wunderschönes Plätzchen, England überrascht immer wieder.
Dein blumiges Outfit Kirsten, passt perfekt zu dieser herrlichen Natur.
Habe das Glück in bella Italia 🇮🇪zu leben, von dort sende ich euch sonnige Grüsse. Bleibt immer gut behütet
If I could go any where in the world right now this would be it! Thank you for revealing this treasure. Kirsten, you look absolutely adorable! 🌹🥀🌷🌼
This was a beautiful video. Thank you. We saw it on Natasha and Debbie's show and they asked us to come and like it on your site too.
Thank you so much! We love Natasha & Debbie, such great people.
Absolutely loved your video, a beautiful place and the coastline looks stunning. Not travelled far in Wales , only north and Anglesey but you both have wetted my appetite for more travelling. Look forward to your next instalment.
I love you guys thank you for sharing all these beautiful places. All places you visit are so breathtaking beautiful. It’s been my wish to visit all these relaxing quiet places away from the heavy tourist places like London. You take beautiful photos of the flowers. I live in Pennsylvania. Again thank you for sharing.
What a glorious day in such a stunning area. Never knew Portmeirion looked quite like that. It does look kind of like Italy. You both looked so good and cheerful. Thank you for another truly wonderful video. In this troubled world, you manage to bring us much needed beauty and joy. Take care!
Thank you so much!
I have a few pieces of portmerion pottery . Now I know where it has come from . Such a delightful place you both looked as though you really enjoyed it. Thankyou again for sharing your travels.
Always learning so much and enjoying what you bring. Thank you so much!
I could just sit and paint all day there…so many delightful little vistas
Was well shot. Reminded me of my visit. I have several Portmeirion pieces and it is timeless and hard wearing. Thanks for sharing. It is a magical place.
