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.

A bit run down but not bad if you want some lovely excursions...shops acceptable and some great cafes.Cable car MUST accept card payment as most people don't carry much cash with them and there were no signs informing you of this until there...very poor...but luckily we had just enough cash between us for the ride...£28...how many of you carry such cash these days?

Llandudno is an amazing place to visit - exceptionally clean and litter free. Lots of restaurants, shops, cafes and an immaculate promenade. Cable cars, mountain tram, cafe/park on the summit, dry slope ski centre which also does sno-tubing, tobogganing, mini golf with a restaurant/bar.

The staff where excellent, but facilities where few. I would definitely not advise disabled people to use it. The stairs at the front entrance are lethal plus they only had WiFi in certain parts of the hotel, usually near reception. Nothing in the rooms. There was no entertainment till the summer. The hotel itself was very comfortable but these little things spoiled our stay.

Llandudno wasn't our first choice but that's where we ended up going and on arrival immediately felt it was a good choice. The long sweeping sea front, plenty of shops, bars and cafes. It still holds on to its charm of yesteryear. The pier and tram ride up the Orme are popular. A good range of accommodation to suit most pockets. Could happily have stayed longer than our 3 nights and would happily visit again.

I love walking up the Great Orme, its tough going but the views are amazing, The town has plenty of choice for bars and restaurants, LCs Bar, Fountain Bar, The Mediterranean Restaurant, The Taverna, The Casanova, The Cottage Loaf, to name a few. The town is also clean and has a good choice of shops...The Range, River Island, Primark, Marks and Spencers all within walking distance from main street.

I love Llandudno.

14 April 2024

I love Llandudno. The North beach is touristy, with hotels and the pier. The West beach is not touristy at all. They are close, so visitors can easily take their pick or do both. The Great Orme is one of the best places to go with far-reaching views. We love it up there. The town itself has lovely wide streets with plenty of free parking. It is flat and easy to walk around. There are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants.
