About Llandudno

Including tips for the best time to visit Llandudno

Llandudno is a seaside town and the largest resort in Wales. It is known for its natural landmarks, beautiful pier and Victorian heritage. To pay homage to its roots, every summer there’s a carnival with street fairs, vintage engines and a parade of people dressed in Victorian-era costumes.

The Llandudno Pier is one of the most popular attractions in town, with plenty of stalls, arcade games and a Ferris wheel dotting the 700-metre boardwalk. You can take in superb sunset views over the sea from here, after a scenic stroll along the connecting Llandudno Promenade. This walkway is lined with pastel-hued Victorian mansions and runs along North Shore Beach, where you’ll find stretches of sand as well as pebble. You can also spend some time amidst nature at the artfully landscaped Happy Valley Botanical Gardens, and go skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing on the artificial ski slopes of Llandudno Snowsports Centre.

The Great Orme is a limestone headland that’s situated north-west of Llandudno. You can hike, take a cable car or ride the Great Orme Tramway to its summit for sweeping views of the Irish Sea and the town of Llandudno. Here, you can play golf, visit the 12th-century St Tudno's Church and explore labyrinthine caves and tunnels at the Great Orme Mines that date back to the Bronze Age.

It is a small area, easy to get around on the whole, some steep roads. Lots around and easy transport links to visit other local areas. Trip on the tram should be a must, adult return was £10.50. At the top are spectacular views, a cafe, I had a hot soup and a roll for £3.95. There is also a visitor center, small wildflower garden, crazy golf, children's play area up there too. You can also walk down To The mine or around the orme area The little church and Graveyard are very interesting too. As it was a very cold and windy day when I went I did do any walking. There are plenty of pubs/bars to suit any and all tastes and lots of different restaurants /takeaway, during the day there are a lot of cafes to choice from. There is also a Alice in wonderland trail, you can get maps from the tourist info center located in the shopping g centre, I will definitely be returning on a warmer day.

Llandudno is a lovely place to visit/stay, always clean and people very pleasant, there's a good choice of pubs, restaurants to cater for different cuisines, cafes and plenty of shops, also a large retail park. The great orme has a tram to get you to the top if needed and a road up if driving, there's a copper mine to visit half way which is very interesting and the views if clear are great and a visitor centre with all local information. There's a ski slope and toboggan type ride around the slope, there's a bus ride around the orme with commentary which is really good, a walk along the pier leads to a bar and cafe, a lovely stroll! The promenade is wide and a walk or cycle takes from great orme to little orme, watch out for seagulls if eating ice cream or chips etc whilst walking. Llandudno has two beaches, north shore and west shore, the west has the larger sand area and is a short walk or quick drive or just hop on a bus, everywhere in Llandudno is within easy walking distance for most people or a mobility scooter can be hired, there are a few amusement arcades so all ages are catered for. My wife and I have been visiting Llandudno for 56 years and we have relations living here or near to who moved to this area of Wales some years ago.

Lots to do in Llandudno and good for shopping and reastaurants, plenty of variety and choice. Watkins restaurant in the Empire hotel is top notch if you enjoy a more formal service and priced very fairly. Some things in town not yet open but expect that mid March. Bodnant Garden close by and just beautiful.

North shore is perfect for walking on the promenade with pleasant views of the bay and Victorian pier. A trip up the great orme on the Victorian tramway is a must. Super fit visitors might walk up. Good choice of cafes and restaurants in town. We ate in a pub called The Albert in Madoc street. The food was excellent.

Llandudno is a beautiful and very well kept seaside town. It has a lovely promenade, a Victorian Pier and there are great walks around the Great Orme, where there is a ancient copper mine, there is also a cable car, tram and bus service to get to the summit of the Orme. The town has some very good restaurants and pubs. All in all very good, our favourite place. Steve & Venetia.
