a target=”_blank” title=”Llandudno, Wales” href=”http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/llandudno.html”>Llandudno in 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 for the whole family to enjoy whilst staying in this beautiful coastal town.

The town of Llandudno sits between Great Orme and Little Orme. The town faces the Irish Sea on one side and the estuary of the River Conwy on the other. It is not only these headlands but also the West and North shores which make this location so appealing to tourists.

The Great Orme reaches a height of 680 feet and is home to Tudno Church, the Great Orme Copper Mines and you can take the Llandudno Tramway to it.  Also living here are more than 100 Kashmiri Goats whose ancestors were a gift to the Queen Victoria from the Shah of Persia (now Iran). 

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 offers bird spotters the chance to see razorbills and cormorants. Further back in time, one of its caves held a printing press that printed various Catholic prayer books. 

In the town, you can visit The Alice in Wonderland Centre which features all sorts of characters from the famous book. The centre was opened, as Llandudno is a place where Alice Liddel the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s book, spent her childhood. 

As you’d expect for a coastal town in the UK, Llandudno has a pier. The pier can trace its history back to 1878 and was built in just 12 months. As you stroll along the length of the pier, you will see a variety of ornately decorated small buildings that are home to a bar, cafe and traditional amusements. Souvenirs can be found in the gift shops on the pier.

In the summer season, the pier is where one can get the Steam Packet boat from to sail over to the Isle of Man. 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.
