Llandudno in Wales is one of the country’s premier holiday resorts and is found on the northern coast of Conwy. Because of this, there are plenty of Llandudno attractions that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family whilst visiting this pleasant seaside town.
The town itself lies between two very carboniferous headlands known as Great Orme and Little Orme. To one side of the town lies the Irish Sea and the estuary of the River Conwy on the other. Between these headlands and the western and northern shores, the town has much to offer tourists.
The Great Orme is over 680 feet high and is home to Tudno Church, Great Orme’s copper minds and is a stop for the Llandudno Tramway. The hill is also home to a flock of Kashmiri goats and were originally gifted to the town by Queen Victoria after she received them from the Shah of Persia.
As you’d expect, Little Orme is smaller, but it is still 463 feet high and is the ideal location to view the Great Orme, Anglesey and even across to Snowdonia. The cliff face offers bird spotters the chance to see razorbills and cormorants. It is also in one of its caves that during the 1580′s a printing press was housed in order that Catholic prayers and other tracts were able to be produced.
In the town, you can visit The Alice in Wonderland Centre which features all sorts of characters from the famous book. The centre was opened, as Llandudno is a place where Alice Liddel the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s book, spent her childhood.
As you’d expect for a coastal town in the UK, Llandudno has a pier. The pier can trace its history back to 1878 and was built in just 12 months. As you stroll along the length of the pier, you will see a variety of ornately decorated small buildings that house a bar, cafe and amusements. Souvenirs can be found in the gift shops on the pier.
During the summer months, the Isle of Man Steam Packet launches from the pier. You can choose to sail across to the Isle of Man on your own or as part of one of the organized trips. The pier itself since first being constructed has several extensions and has been renovated as well and it now measures a total of 695 metres.
