...Warriors, Warfare, Castles & Kingdoms
In a perfect setting overlooking Cardigan Bay, Tŷ Newydd was the last home of Prime Minister David Lloyd George (1863-1945), who chose to retire in his childhood village of Llanystumdwy. Lloyd George was Prime Minster of Great Britain during the First World War and commissioned famous architect Clough Williams-Ellis (1883-1978) to re-fashion the house. Tŷ Newydd is now Wales’ National Writing Centre, run by Literature Wales. It hosts panels on its history in the entrance and can be visited alongside the Lloyd George Museum and grave. Williams-Ellis built nearby Portmeirion, made famous by the cult 1960s series The Prisoner. Offering dreamy Italianate architecture, it is a place of pilgrimage for artists and art lovers, having accommodated noted writers including H G Wells, George Bernard Shaw and Noël Coward.
