Llandudno is Wales’s largest seaside resort. Llandudno became very popular during the Victorian era and to this today continues to be one of one of Wales’s most popular tourist destinations.

Llandudno offers something for everyone. It is located between two prominent headlands: the Great Orme and the Little Orme. The Great Orme is a large limestone headland which can be explored via the unique 18th century Victorian tramway, by cable car which is the longest passenger cable car system in Britain, or by car which offers amazing views around Marine Drive. For the more energetic, there are some beautiful walks to the Great Orme summit. From the summit you can see the Irish Sea on one side and the estuary of the River Conwy on the other. It also offers stunning views over Llandudno. At the top of the Great Orme is a nine hole mini golf course, a café and further down the Great Orme is a dry ski slope and tobogganing.

One of Llandudno's most famous attractions is the Pier, which is a grade II listed building. It was built in 1878 and is 1,234 feet, the longest pier in Wales and the 5th longest in England.
