Llandudno is perfectly preserved Victorian seadise resort enclosed by the headlands of the Great Orme. The Great Orme can be descended by cable railway and cabin lift.
As though to prove that it's twice as good as other seaside resorts, Llandudno has twice as many beaches, both award winning, the quiet Westshore with its spectacular views and the lively North Shore with all the fun, and of course the famous pier. Llandudno beach was recently voted by Harper's and Queens Magazine one of the world's top 50 beaches.
Llandudno's highlight is the Great Orme, towering 679 foot limestone headland and Country Park, whose summit you can reach either by the longest cable-operated tramway in Britain, or by a thrilling Cable Car ride. Once at the top, you'll find a Visitor Centre and a Summit Complex with bar and restaurant. You can visit the 4000year old Copper Mines and explore the underground passages leading to an impressive Bronze Age Mines and explore the underground passages leading to an impressive Bronze Age Cavern. On the lower slopes is Ski Llandudno with an artificial ski slope and 700 metre toboggan run.
If you don't like heights you can sail around the Orme in a pleasure boat! Llandudno is the resort where the real Alice in wonderful(Alice Liddel)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. On a lighter note, Llandudno's Pier stretching out into the sea is 2,220 feet of fun and amusement.
