  • Snowdonia & the Llŷn
    © Lonely Planet N 236 Ŷ Snowdonia & the Llŷn SNOWDONIA & THE LL Snowdonia never ceases to inspire. From the spectacular mountain scenery to the welcom- ing Welsh hospitality in small villages among the peaks, Wales’ rural heartland is one of the most attractive and visited areas of the country. It’s not just about panoramas, however. Snowdonia is also a hub for activities, with walking, climbing and a new penchant for water sports the main drawcards. Away from the hiking trails, there’s the glorious Portmeirion, an Italianate village nestling on the North Wales coast; Edward I’s formidable castles at Caernarfon and Harlech, part of a joint Unesco World Heritage Site with those at Beaumaris and Conwy; and lively hubs for active travellers at Betws-y-Coed and Bala. The northwest is the most traditionally minded and heavily Welsh-speaking corner. Indeed, modern Gwynedd is more than 70% Welsh-speaking, while old Gwynedd was a stronghold of the Welsh princes. The Snowdon highlands sheltered Llywelyn ap Gruffydd in the 13th century and Owain Glyndŵr in the 15th during their struggles against the English. With such a formidable mountain shield, it’s little wonder that the Llŷn Peninsula has held with even greater confidence to old Welsh ways, making it the one of the lesser-known areas, but one worthy of discovery. For more information about the region, check the website www.visitsnowdonia.info. HIGHLIGHTS Explore Snowdonia National Park ( opposite ), a crescendo of mountains, lakes and valleys. This dramatically beautiful area is the UK’s Caernarfon second-largest national park (after the Lake Castle Snowdonia District).

Location: Offices of Menai Marina, Old Slate Quay, Felinheli, Gwynedd, Ll56 4JN Crynodeb o’r TO APPROVE SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS Argymhelliad: PLANNING COMMITTEE DATE: 18/12/2017 REPORT OF THE SENIOR PLANNING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION CAERNARFON MANAGER 1. Description: 1 The application was deferred at the Planning Committee on 6th November in order to undertake a site inspection. In addition, observations were received from the applicant in response to the Committee's concerns. The observations include: The existing facilities (showers, toilets, office) are in a poor location too far away from the main hub of activities near the dock gates and too far from the external Menai basin. The proposal would significantly improve the service of the business. Currently, boats are removed from the water with a hired crane and are stored over winter on the car park. The company feel that this is not an ideal situation and detracts from the area's visual amenities and reduces the parking for customers. The development would ensure a better car park and boats would only be stored and removed from the water in the operational section of the dock near the existing boatyard workshop.

  • Portmeirion, Perspective and Pleasure Francis Ellisi and Sebastian Messerii I Francis Ellis – Master of Architecture, Northumbria University, 2010
    Portmeirion, Perspective and Pleasure Francis Ellisi and Sebastian Messerii i Francis Ellis – Master of Architecture, Northumbria University, 2010. Architect, MAAP Architects, 25 Collingwood Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 1JE. ii Sebastian Messer RIBA – Architecture, Department of Architecture, Engineering and Construction, School of the Built and Natural Environment, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST. Keywords: Baroque, empirical, narrative architecture, perspective, pleasure, urban design Abstract The holiday village of Portmerion was created by Bertram Clough Williams-Ellis (1883 - 1978) over a period of fifty-one years, starting in 1926. It was grade II listed in 1971. However, Portmerion has become a part of western popular culture rather than of mainstream architectural history. Its use as the setting for the cult 1967 television series “The Prisoner” ensures continued worldwide interest and a constant stream of visitors. Williams Ellis‟ design methods were empirical, initial designs being adjusted by eye on site in close collaboration with trusted builders. This paper analyses the development of Portmerion as a gesamtkunstwerk; considering the experience of movement through the village as a dynamic composition of shifting vistas, focussing the visitor on a series of constructed views. Through this analysis, Portmerion is revealed as both a manifestation of the architecture of pleasure and an exercise in the pleasure of architecture. Introduction Williams-Ellis‟ architectural training was curtailed after a mere three months so his development as an architect happened informally. He adopted his middle name, Clough, as a nom d’artiste by which he was commonly known, so that is used hereafter. Clough was a keen sailor and his ad hoc education was augmented by travelling widely; a tour of northern Italy proving especially significant as it introduced him both to the coastal village of Portofino and to Geoffrey Scott, the author of „The Architecture of Humanism‟ (Williams-Ellis, 1971, p.193).

There are a number of mature trees within the site and generally in the surrounding area. The site is within a Conservation Area and within an area which has been designated as a Landscape Conservation Area and the Aberglaslyn Area of Outstanding Historic Interest.
