Plas Brondanw is in the Snowdonia National Park in, Gwynedd, North Wales. It was the family home of Clough Williams-Ellis who was the creator of the Italianate village Portmeirion and its gardens share many of the Portmeirion's characteristics with stone walls and topiary. They in a series of 'garden rooms' enclosed by yew hedges and open lawns, linked by carefully planned vistas over to the mountains.

The house was constructed by John ap Hywel in about 1550, and another member of the family, William Williams, made some alterations in 1660. The names Williams and Ellis became linked together in 1807 when the Reverend John Ellis married Jane Bulgin, who was heiress to the Williams estate. Clough Williams-Ellis inherited Plas Brondanw from his father in 1908. At the age of 25 he set about restoring both the house and the gardens.

In 1951 the property was badly damaged by fire, and this event, and the subsequent restoration of the property, is commemorated by a flaming urn statue, mounted at the top of a waterfall. The restoration was completed by December 1953.
