With its unique combination of Victorian style and Edwardian elegance, Llandudno is the largest holiday resort in Wales.
Dubbed the Queen of Welsh resorts, it stands on a peninsula jutting out into the Irish Sea, between the twin headlands of the Great Orme and Little Orme. The town boasts two superb beaches - the North Shore, backed by an imposing crescent of large Victorian hotels, with its graceful pier (at 2,220ft it's one of the longest in Britain), has all the ingredients for a memorable family holiday.
The beach also offers donkey rides, boat trips, Punch and Judy shows, and a whole host of summer events and activities. In contrast, the West shore is quieter, with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes, with superb views westwards along the coast towards the Isle of Anglesey and Puffin Island .
Llandudno is the resort where the real Alice in Wonderland (Alice Liddell) spent her childhood summers, and in the Alice in Wonderland Centre in Trinity Square, you can venture down the rabbit hole and re-live her adventures.
Faithful to its Victorian character, Llandudno remains unspoiled by the passing of time making it the perfect location for that memorable holiday.
Until the development of the resort town, in the mid 19th Century, Llandudno was still a village where people engage in mining and fishing. Then the Llandudno as we know it today was born .
Today, Llandudno is an exciting place that is both lively and beautiful with two sandy beaches sitting beneath the towering limestone headland of the Great Orme Countryside Park
From the traditional appeal of the seaside town of Llandudno with its magical beaches to the timeless beauty of Snowdonia and the mountains , it's easy to see why North Wales remains such an attraction.
