I’m from a township in Pennsylvania that was founded by Welsh settlers in the 1600s and we have a “Merion” ☺️ Very cool to see this video, such a beautiful place!
I looked up the history of Welsh settlers in Pennsylvian.Did not know any of it.Very interesting.I know the missionaries went to Patagonia and there is a place where only Welsh is spoken.
It actually photographs better than it looks in real life as the proportions of the properties in the background are built to give illusions of greater size than they actually are. Ive stayed at the hotel and the real star is the estuary.....as Kirsten says - a spectacular spot. A great day out and very popular venue for weddings. If you stay in the houses or hotel you get to look around without the crowds.
Kirsten, Joerg, I am totally absolutely taken by this incredibly beautiful town! You two look like you belong there! The colors are lovely as are all the flowers. I think anyone planning a Honeymoon this would be the trip of a lifetime. The water so beautiful. The tart you had looked so d-lish! I look forward to the next video and visiting again with y'all again. Be well and safe. YFATP 🇺🇸
I was 13 when the Prisoner started on TV in 1967. I was old enough to stay up later but not old enough to go out with my friends. They were the days parents looked after their children rather than let them roam the streets. Anyway my family loved the programme just for where it was filmed. It was a cross between Spy Fiction, Science fiction, Allegory and Psychological Drama. However to this day I don’t think anyone really understood it. The only thing I liked was when they tried to escape the village and they had these huge balloons that were the size of humans that chased the escapee along the beach and captured them never to be seen again. When I went on holiday with my family we always went to lots of different places in the west county. I remember my mother always saying she didn’t want to go to Wales as it’s always cold and wet lol. However you have proved her wrong!
We really have to check out the series so we can have an opinion lol. Oh that makes me laugh so hard - we have been to Portmeirion 3 times (well, we lived in North Wales for some years too) and always had the best weather.
Wales is such a lovely country, full of natural beauty and amazing history. I never would have guessed that you were in Wales walking through Portmeirion - just a magical place. And the weather - wow! Thank you as always, for letting us tag along to another beautiful location.
Your videos are not just beautiful, they are educational as well as inspirational. I always learn something new and would love to visit these places. This one in particular is simply stunning. The colorful houses, big hydrangea bushes, the sound of the bells, little bench that looks like a stage, the giant chess board that reminds me of Harry Potter... To just name a few. Thank you for showing us this beauty. 👌💕🙂
It looks like a fairy tale place and it is gorgeous! I have never heard of this place but I would love to go there. So beautiful and thank you for sharing!
OMG - I so wanted to visit here when we spent two weeks in England but it was too far out of the way. We loved the series, The Prisoner, and even have it on video. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!
I have been enjoying your channel immensely. I “discovered” it about 2 months ago, so there is a lot of catching up to do! My late husband and I loved to take off on mini day or two trips exploring. I am in the states so the scenery was different but included a mixture of historic sites, nature and antique markets. All your references to Jane Austen etc made me realize that I have not read much English literature with the exception of Shakespeare. So you have inspired me to start with some women writers for my summer reading- Austen and Brontë. It’s been wonderful- Thank you!
We are known for our castles more per square mile than any other nation in europe , colourful seaside towns like Tenby , portmeirion , Llandudno , our cities like Swansea , Cardiff and Wrexham , our mountains like Snowdon or our welsh valleys , the land of song and poetry , the land of legends like King Arthur , dragons , the lady of the lake , our history battles with the romans , Saxons , Norman’s , Viking’s , our distinct welsh language , Celtic culture , celebrities like Cathrine zeta jones , Anthony Hopkins , Bonnie Tyler , Tom jones , Gareth bale I love my country ❤🏴
What a beautiful place, from its colorful buildings to its many beautiful flower gardens. Thank you so much for sharing Wales beauty with us. It is now on the top of my list of must sees. Just fell in love with this city.
What a beautiful place . I've read about it in Britain magazine and dream of visiting there and the rest of Wales . Thank you for taking us on your journeys 💕💕 🇨🇦
How absolutely lovely your tour of Port Merion was! It is very Italian style with the beautiful gardens, which you always showcase with the utmost care so we can enjoy it with you! A thousand thanks, another gorgeous video! Love the hydrangeas too Kirsten, so very pretty!
Kirsten, you're right it is absolutely gorgeous and since I am Italian (both parents are, though I am British born) I can really appreciate this video. My family are from Sicily and wonder if you and Joerg have ever visited the gorgeous island? I have to say I think it is an amazing place as well. Great video as always
It's a lovely video. What a surprise a little bit of Italy in Wales. But it also makes me think about the Dutch Caribbean islands which has similar buildings and colours. Realy nice . We lived there for many years and our house was a soft vanilla colour .Thank you It's always a joy to travel with you to these lovely places. Greetings 🌷💟🇾🇪
Lovely video as usual Guys. Thanks for giving us such beautiful spots in the UK. It blows my mind the fact that it really looks like the Mediterranean meets Wales lol. I read a peculiar fact about Wales that they have the town with the longest name? and it's almost impossible to say it if you don't know the local language? A big Hug guys from the East coast of the USA. I wish I could be to UK rn.
Oooo how lovely. I watched the prisoner as a child back in the 60s and in fact rewatched it here on RU-vid about a year or so ago. It was really lovely to see. Those hydrangea bushes are a delight. I agree that Wales truly is beautiful. Loved the little bit of fun right at the end of the video. I hear the UK is having quite a heatwave atm, so take care on your travels and stay hydrated. Lots of love from Egypt x Stella x ❤️❤️❤️
Such an interesting place - so many buildings are so tiny I half-expected to see a child-size train circling the square, like Madurodam in Holland or a Legoland. Thanks for the aerial photos so we could see how the buildings relate to each other and to the hillside.
Your video was wonderful. We also love Wales and were planning a holiday there in September but decided the Lake District might be better because we were only in Wales last September. However, after your beautiful video I think another trip to Wales maybe back on the agenda. We’re currently in Suffolk after a week in Norfolk and that was also fantastic! The beaches are just amazing. We are so lucky to be retired and to have a campervan! We can just take off whenever we feel like it and to be honest, we’re amazed at how love.y our country actually is. Your channel is a perfect reminder of what is just on our doorstep! A massive thanks to you and Joerg for that. Mind you, my husband loves Germany! 😂😂
Thanks so much Sylvia! Oh the Lake District is such a wonderful choice, you can do Wales next time :) Have the best time in Suffolk - you couldn't ask for better weather. Yes, so many great places to see here in the UK. So glad your hubs loves Germany, it's a gorgeous country too.
so Magical, so Italian and all so Beautiful and Charming ! The history of the place is very interesting and quite visionary ! Thanks for sharing an incredible destination to put on my wish list
Oh WOW, dort ist es ja wirklich herrlich! Sehr schön auch dieser kleine Leuchtturm bzw. Aussichtsturm! Wieder mal ein super tolles Video! Liebe Grüße an Euch! 🤗
I love Portmeirion. When I visited I bought a seconds Ancestral Jewels soup bowl ( I use it as a small serving dish). I was backpacking and I nurtured that bowl all the way home to Australia. It was autumn when I went and the colours in the gardens were wonderful. But sadly too expensive for me to stay.
Irgendwie wie im Märchenland, traumhaft schön, auch der Sandstrand. Bin immer wieder begeistert, was uns so mancher Architekt an echten Kunstwerken hinterlassen hat. Ohne die fantastischen Ideen dieser kreativen Köpfe wäre die Welt an Schönheit ein großes Stück weit ärmer.
I have watched your channel for a while-very enjoyable,so it was a delight to see another Reaction Video, featuring yourselves, from Natasha and Debbie of The Natasha and Debbie Show. They suggested that their own viewers let you know. I thoroughly enjoy all your Vlogs and I hadn't seen your Portmeirion video, which is indeed beautiful.
Beautifully filmed.Some good shots,different to what I've seen before and I watched The Prisoner as a child.Loved the lilly pads and the incredible drone footage of the beach and coast..thank-you so much.Glad the weather was tip top..you seem to take it with you..so wonderful.I'm with you Kirsten about plastic.Have got rid of it in the home as much as possible.
Hallo, in was für wunderschöne Gegenden Großbritanniens ihr eure Zuschauer immer wieder führt... Herzlichen Dank dafür. Ich war noch nicht in Wales und hätte nie gedacht, dass es teilweise so mediterran ist. Mal wieder wunderschöne Aufnahmen, tolle Farben und zwei unaufdringliche, sympathische Menschen, die diese einzigartigen Orte zeigen.
Vielen Dank liebe Dagmar! Oh ja, auch in Wales wirkt sich der Goldstrom aus, deshalb auch Palmen wie im restlichen Großbritannien. Gibt sehr viel in Wales zu entdecken und Südwales ist wie Cornwall.
Your videos are such a soothing balm for the soul! From your voices to the scenery you show, to your tours in general… Thank you so much for these lovely, lovely videos! ❤️
So ein wunderschöner, bunter Ort! Kriegt man ja gleich super gute Laune 🥰🥰 und ihr hattet wirklich das perfekte Wetter. Ich muss unbedingt mal nach Wales. 😍 (Jörgs Humor ist einfach der Knaller, muss jedes Mal lachen 🤣👌🏻) Danke für ein wieder bezauberndes Video. ❤️
Thank you so much for taking me on your adventures. I just adore you two and your videos! Jorg looks so happy eating his sorbet by the Geranium planters. Portmerion looks amazing. Love from Canada 🍁
Portmeirion é como se fosse um daqueles pequenos reinos (fictícios) que vemos nos filmes românticos, mais lindo impossível; vocês dois mais uma vez mostrando como esse mundo pode ser belo e "diverso", basta ter tempo e "dinheiro" rsrsrs, para conhece-lo. Beijos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
That is really a special place! It is a bit a colonial style...unexpected in Wales but absolutly gorgeous! You catch nice spots again....thank you for sharing 💞💞
Schön, euch wiederzusehen 😀! Das war ja ein Ausflug in den mediterranen Teil der Insel ☀️. Es war mir gar nicht bewusst,dass es dort so schön ist. Die Pflanzen und Gärten- herrlich. Durch euch lernt man doch immer noch was Neues über GB kennen 😊! Liebe Grüße aus Köln von Regina und Jörg 👋
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Absolut, Wales ist immer wieder schön und beispielsweise ist Pembrokeshire im Süden wie Cornwall, nur wissen das viele Deutsche nicht und fahren nicht dorthin, was wir auch immer so schade finden. Liebe Grüße
Well you two never cease to amaze me with your travel adventures; thanks for the lovely scenery..the colors of the row houses..and flowers galore!! Love it!!
Portmeiron village is truly lovely. With it's different color buildings. So nice. Have a few collection of Portmeiron pottery at home. Thank you for sharing your wonderful visit. Love it.
I was was concerned not seeing you for a time but it was worth the wait! One of the most Beautiful Places On Earth, who new their was a British Italy! What a Lovely Breathtaking Escape, thanks so much for taking us with you! 👏🏻😍♥️
Aww thank you! We did mention in the Community tab that we weren't able to publish a video last week which we usually do if we can't stick to our schedule.
That was so unexpected and oh so stunning! Thank you both for always putting a smile on our faces! I could just smell the summer air . Wales looks so beautiful! Cheers❤
It's good to see you two again! Given the state of air travel these days, this is probably the best way to visit Italy 🙃 We watched The Prisoner - the bouncing white ball weirded me out! Another town for our want to go to list.... Have a fantastic week! 🌴🍧😊💕
Hi Kirsten and Joerg what a truly beautiful place, thank you both for showing us round, my husband and I had our fiftieth anniversary last year and we couldn’t celebrate as I was having treatment for Cancer, but as I am now recovering, it would be lovely to go there, so thanks to you two, I’m going to book it, much love to you both xxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good evening🤍 I saw that you shot a new video and I smiled. It's so cool that you evoke a positive emotion🤗😊😊 The places you visit are beautiful because, you decorate them. Your love makes the videos very light and deep✨💐🌸🌺 I'm from Georgia, my boyfriend is German. Next week I'm flying to Cologne🤩 to visit him. I can't wait to tell him about you.🥰 Bella is from Georgia.
Have never heard of this beautiful Village. What a wondrous place thank you for introducing me to it. Immediately upon viewing it just made my heart sing! Clough Williams-Ellis had such 'perfect vision' in developing such a glorious place. It is always a joy to follow you on a tour as you have such a unique and lovely way of presenting each place and I leave feeling almost as refreshed as if I had been on holiday. This may be one of my top favourites now. I had to laugh at your Wedding 'Bumping' it was so enjoyable!! Never change. Please. :-)
What a beautiful place! You're right. You probably have to visit to realize the full beauty BUT as usual, you certainly did it justice. Love the history you provide also.
Would be a lovely place to take your visiting parents and family. Wales is spectacular!.. Thank you for this really stunning and interesting video. Think I probably would break the bank in the pottery shop!
Hello, been sent over by The Natasha and Debbie show who reacted to your video today. Loved watching this. So beautifully filmed and what a stunning location. I live in the U.K., but had never heard of this village. Thank you for such a treat
Good day dearest Kirsten and Joerg, Each and every time I see your blogs I see the best cinematography. You never fail to educate and surprise us with the beauty of this world and share your love and humor. I so appreciate your work. 'Carry on' With much love, Joan xoxoxo
Oh wie schön Portmeiron zu sehen! Ich war hier in den Ferien zu einem Ausflug mit meinem Mann und meinem Sohn und es war wunderschön hier! Danke für eure tollen Einblicke und Eindrücke. 💕
Italy in Wales.. Who could imagine?! It really did remind me of Italy and with that beautifully sunny day too! Would love to visit Wales one day. Thank you for taking us along!
Your video is beautifully made and presented. Have visited Portmeirion and the day was completely magical. Had lunch at the Portmeirion Hotel on their front lawn next to the water in hot sunshine.
What a glorious day in such a stunning area. Never knew Portmeirion looked quite like that. It does look kind of like Italy. You both looked so good and cheerful. Thank you for another truly wonderful video. In this troubled world, you manage to bring us much needed beauty and joy. Take care!
What a beautiful video! Although Portmeirion has been my tableware for several decades, I never knew the beauty of its source. Joerg, your drone photography of the coastline at low tide was spectacular. The pastel colors of the buildings plus palm trees made me think of the south coast of Cornwall combined with Isle of Mull. I had no idea the Gulf Stream was influential that far north in Wales! You deserve ALL that glorious sunshine, and thanks so much for sharing it with us! 🌝🌞🌝🌴🌴
Absolutely loved your video, a beautiful place and the coastline looks stunning. Not travelled far in Wales , only north and Anglesey but you both have wetted my appetite for more travelling. Look forward to your next instalment.
Loved your video and your narration. Your voice is so lovely and charming. As usual putting this town on my list of where to go. It’s been 3 years since our last visit to the UK and it’s time. You two always look so happy and content. Thank you for sharing.
I am lucky to live in beautiful South Wales and I also love North Wales and have enjoyed visits to Portmeirion. I also collect Botanic range. So pretty.
I live Portmerion so much ! ❤ I'd love to stay in the self -catering ....Your video of the village is beautiful , what a gorgeous day ❤ Your outfit Kirsten suited the setting so well !
Oh I have several cousins in North Wales (Anglesey)! I love to watch you both in all your places you go. Keep them coming! I've learned so much from you and I'm starting to experiment with different teas, thanks to you both! I'm in Canada and lovely to see you and can't wait for your next videos. ☺
This place looks amazing..Honestly cannot believe it’s in Wales. It’s stunning..UK has some gorgeous places to visit…definitely for now, avoid the queues and plane cancellations and enjoy staycationing!!! Thank you so much and God bless you.
As soon as I read the name of the town, I immediately thought of the Pottery, which we've used for years. I've often noticed your place mats in the videos.
That was so lovely, what a beach. I just love your shopping music it fits perfectly and makes me smile. What a beautiful place. Ive not been to Wales, maybe a weekend with my daughter would be lovely. Thank you both, and good to see you back again 🤗
Danke Kirsten und Jörg. Hättet ihr nicht gesagt das dies in Wales ist, wäre ich nie darauf gekommen. Sehr südländisch und sehr schön. Ich wünsche euch eine angenehme Woche🙏
Oh ist das lieb von dir! Tausend Dank für den riesigen Support unseres Kanals liebe Anita, das fließt in unseren Topf, um Videos zu produzieren. Ganz liebe Grüße und auch wir wünschen eine schöne Woche.
