[Sorry about this being in net.tv.drwho but I couldn't let the above go
 by without correcting it.]

Nonsense.  The Village is Port Merion in North Wales, which isn't a
real village.  Port Merion is a holiday resort;  each building contains
several rooms or apartents of what is basically a large and somewhat unusual
hotel.  It was built in an Italianesque style by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.

I was there in August.  Sadly it had an air of faded glory and was in need
of painting.  It's still interesting to visit though.  They have a Prisoner
souvenir shop in Number 6's cottage.

Very little of the Prisoner was actually filmed there.  A set was built
at the studio.
