	I have been to The Village, it really exists !

	As many of you know, in the last episode of The Prisoner the
credits list the hotel where it was filmed.  It is in Portmarion which
is on the coast in Wales.  It is indeed intersting to "walk" in The Village.
It also shows how hollywood can make things look very different in real
life and in person.  The main features of the village do exist but reality
if more down to earth.  The boat in concrete is there as are all the other
architectural items from the TV show.  They are just smaller and juxtaposed
differently in real life.  You can by a number 6 button for your jacket
in the "Village Shop" but the only other Prisoner souvenirs consist of
one paperback book aimed at younger readers.

	I truly recommend a drive to the village not only to see it but
to see another side of Britain which is not overun by tourists.  It is
out of the way but a very pleasent trip through beautiful countryside.
