I should have been around when you posted the quizzy Dave, but I wasn't. I thought as soon as I saw Kens answer that he'd nailed it Smile

Name the Italianate village on a private peninsula in Wales. About 50 buildings surround a central piazza in styles from Gothic to Oriental.

  I remember an Iron Maiden documentry and some interviews with Bruce Dickinson being filmed there as there was a tie up with Patrick Magoohan who holds the rights to the Prisoner and the Maiden wanted to incorporate aspects of the Prisoner into one of their songs.

                 Time is getting on so I shall contemplate the Quizzy while I am on the press tomorrow.

Well all I can come up with so far is Gaston House, a Grade II listed building in the village of Little Hallingbury in Essex.
