There's no need to jet off to Italy this summer - simply visit Portmeirion, a quaint village tucked away along the Dwyryd Estuary in North Wales, and you'll feel as if you've stepped out of the UK
Brits with a longing for sunnier climes don't need to jet off to distant shores, as there's a slice of paradise much closer to home.
The idyllic village has been causing quite a stir on social media too, with influencers like 25-year-old Meera Pankhania singing its praises. "My boyfriend and I were meant to go to Portugal that weekend but as it went on Amber list, we visited here as an alternative and then climbed Mount Snowdon," she said in a previous TikTok, as per The Mirror.
Interestingly, you might be surprised to learn that Portmeirion doesn't have any permanent residents as it's primarily designed for tourists and holidaymakers. In fact, the village even has opening and closing times, welcoming visitors from 9.30am to 5.30pm every day, except Christmas and Boxing Day.
