Lively Llandudno is a Victorian seaside gem with a history that goes back to the Bronze Age. The resort promises all the fun of a traditional beach break with its sweep of sandy beach, pleasure pier packed with amusement arcades, and an esplanade where the longest running Punch & Judy shows in Britain are hosted. Head to Victoria Station for the must do Great Orme Tramway experience – the only remaining cable hauled tramway operating in Britain. This cherished part of Llandudno’s heritage takes over 200,000 visitors a year up to the summit of Great Orme, a limestone headland and nature reserve with stunning vistas. Alternatively, why not ascend the 679 feet in a cable car while capturing panoramic snapshots or hop aboard a vintage bus for the journey around Great Orme coastal road. Walk through tunnels that were mined out over 3500 years ago at the town’s Great Orme Mines, the world’s largest prehistoric copper mine, and one of the most astounding archaeological discoveries of recent times. Discover the sights and sounds of how life was for civilians during World War II at the Home Front Experience, browse exhibits revealing Llandudno’s history at the local museum or view contemporary art at Mostyn Gallery. Maybe you’d like to stroll around Happy Valley Gardens where points of interest include a druid stone circle, a bust of Queen Victoria and a camera obscura which dates back to 1860. If you’d rather just relax, chill out on the sand dunes at West Shore Beach.
