The Prisoner

WHEN: Departures June-Sept. The fantastical buildings and gardens of Portmeirion Village on the north-west Welsh coast made it the ideal setting for the 60s TV series The Prisoner, with Patrick McGoohan, below, as Number Six.

Created by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion’s stunning buildings make it a popular coach tour destination.

Fans can collect memorabilia and relive the series on a visit here as part of a holiday which features a trip on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, pictured.

Stay at the George IV Hotel in Criccieth, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. COST: From £354pp for 7 days with nationwide departures by coach with Alfa Travel. www.alfatravel.co.uk, 01257 248062
