Llandudno, North Wales
Llandudno is situated in the centre of the North Wales coast and is the undisputed 'Queen' of the North Wales resorts.
Founded as a Copper Mining community within the 1800's Llandudno grew under the vision of the Mostyn Family into North Wales premier holiday town.
The town is located between two headlands the Great Orme and Little Orme, with two beaches, the award winning North Shore with its pier, and the quiet sand duned West Shore. Along Llandudno's long, curving promenade is a line of attractively painted hotels.
The Great Orme's summit can be reached either by the cable-operated tram, or by a Cable Car ride, which runs from the ornamental gardens known as Happy Valley. Once at the top, you'll find a Visitor Centre and a Summit Complex with bar and restaurant. You can visit the 4000-year-old Copper Mines and observe archaeologists at work or explore the underground passages, which lead to an impressive Bronze Age Cavern. On the lower slopes is Ski Llandudno, which is host to the Artificial Ski Championships each year, having a 300-metre artificial ski slope and 700-metre toboggan run.
Llandudno is the resort where the real Alice in Wonderland (Alice Liddell) spent her childhood summers, and in the Alice in Wonderland Centre, you can venture down the rabbit hole and re-live her adventures. Art lovers must visit Oriel Mostyn which exhibits many famous works of art, sculpture and photography, and if you like to learn more about the fascinating history of Llandudno, the Llandudno Museum and Library are essential places to visit.
