Llandudno: Things To See and Do in Llandudno

The town of Llandudno in North Wales is a popular seaside town and holiday resort 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 of Llandudno sits between Great Orme and Little Orme. The town faces the Irish Sea on one side and to the other is the estuary of the River Conwy. Between these headlands and the western and northern shores, the town has much to offer tourists.

The Great Orme reaches a height of 680 feet and is home to Tudno Church, Great Orme's copper minds and you can take the Llandudno Tramway to it.  Also living here are more than 100 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, this only rises 463 feet above Llandudno Bay and is the ideal location to view the Great Orme, the town of Anglesey and the mountains in Snowdonia. Its cliff face is also home to a wide variety of different coastal birds including Razorbills, Guillemots 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 where one can enter through the Rabbit Hole and visit the world of Alice along with the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. Llandudno was chosen to host the museum as Alice Liddel lived in the town as a child. 

Another of the most popular attractions in this town is its Pier. The pier can trace its history back to 1878 and was built in just 12 months. If you choose to walk along the pier, you'll come across a number of small, ornately decorated, buildings that are home to a bar, cafe and traditional amusements. Plus there are even ones selling gifts that you can take as presents for family and friends.

During the summer months, the Isle of Man Steam Packet launches from the pier. Along with the sailing over to the Isle of Man there are organised trips arranged so that you can explore it as well. Over the years, the pier has been extended and now stretches 695 meters out to sea.
