Llandudno is North Wales’ largest and best-loved seaside resort, a Victorian town that has kept its elegance without ever becoming a museum piece. Sheltered between the limestone headlands of the Great Orme and the Little Orme, its sweeping crescent bay, wide promenade and pier have been drawing visitors since the 1850s.
There is far more here than the seafront. Ride the cable car or the 1902 tramway to the summit of the Great Orme, follow the four-mile Marine Drive cut into the cliffs, browse the independent shops and galleries of Mostyn Street, or follow the Grand Tour of Llandudno. Whether you are here for a day, a weekend or a fortnight, this is your guide to the town and the area around it.

These magnificent creatures have been hitting the world headlines. The goats wandered down from the high slopes of the Great Orme during the first covid lockdown and have been regular visitors to the town ever since. Read about the Llandudno goats.
