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).

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).

DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

Zones of Influence
Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper. The paper identifies key centres within each zone of influence and recognises the influences of key centres outside the Park to inform the Spatial Development Strategy. The paper identifies key transport routes, key employment areas, and further education and key services for each zone. The paper discusses the main issues for each zone individually, the implications for the Local Development Plan and how the issues are addressed in the Plan. 2 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 1.1. BALA ZONE OF INFLUENCE 3 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 What’s it like now? 1.2.

The zone includes Llyn Tegid (the largest natural lake in Wales), Llyn Celyn, Arenig Fawr and parts of the Aran Fawddwy. The main service centre for the area is the market town of Bala.

Cost of Coach and Entry to Portmeirion Is £22 Per Head, for Those Taking the Train It Is an Extra £8.50
BETWS-Y-COED is North Wales' most popular inland resort. It is where the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, the Llugwy, the Lledr and the Machno. Much of it was built in Victorian times and it is the principal village of the Snowdonia National Park. THE FFESTINIOG RAILWAY is the oldest independent railway company in the world - being founded by an Act of Parliament in 1832. It introduced the world's first narrow gauge steam locomotives in 1863 and four of the original locos still remain. Over the last fifty years, the Ffestiniog Railway has become one of Wales' top tourist attractions. Visitors to the railway can enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of Snowdonia as they pass through areas inaccessible by road and undisturbed by the sights and sounds of modern life. PORTMEIRION is a popular tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 in the style of an Italian village, is now owned by a charitable trust and has served as the location for numerous films and television shows, most famously serving as "The Village" in the 1960s television show The Prisoner. The grounds contain an important collection of rhododendrons and other exotic plants in a wild-garden setting, which was begun before Williams-Ellis's time by the previous owner George Henry Caton Haigh and has continued to be developed since Williams-Ellis's death. We leave Audlem at 9.30 and travel to Betws-y-Coed for 11.30 here we stretch our legs, take coffee, (at own cost) visit the shops and take in the scenery.
