History

Portmeirion was designed and laid out by the celebrated architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (1883-1978) following his purchase of the estate, then called Aber IĆ¢, in 1926. The village evolved over several decades and was still being added to in the 1970s.

Exterior

Pond of irregular oval plan with low rubble retaining walls. At the N end is a depressed-arch with carved classical head forming an applied keystone. Above this the revettment slopes up to form a hump in the middle with a surmounting angel figure; this section of wall has brick copings and flanking urns. A metalled path leads around the perimeter of the pond.
