Reading comprehension Portmeirion Last week I visited the village of Portmeirion in north Wales. During my childhood, I'd enjoyed holidays in the area, which is one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. However, I'd never been to the village and I had always wanted to. I visited the village in the autumn, which was a good choice as it was less crowded than in summer. I'd read about its history and knew that the buildings were from many different styles and periods but hadn't realised how colourful they would be.
