<P> Scenes of the Village were filmed in the grounds of Clough Williams - Ellis 's Italianate Hotel Portmeirion , a resort near Penrhyndeudraeth in North Wales . Principal location shooting took place over four weeks in September 1966 , with a return visit for additional , second unit - style shots for later episodes in March 1967 . Sections of the resort ( such as Number 6 's residence interior with exterior ) were replicated at MGM Borehamwood Studios in England . Later episodes were shot almost entirely on the sets on MGM 's sound stages and backlot and locations within easy reach of the studio at Borehamwood , ( e.g. , in `` It 's Your Funeral '' , `` A Change of Mind '' , `` Living in Harmony '' , and `` The Girl Who Was Death '' ) , and by reusing Portmeirion footage from earlier episodes the production company was able to save the expense that further principal photography at Portmeirion would have cost . Note that Portmerion was used as a background in Danger Man to show a foreign location -- the episodes were `` View From The Villa '' , `` Under the Lake '' , `` The Honeymooners '' , `` Find and Return '' , `` The Journey Ends Halfway '' and `` Bury the Dead '' . </P>
