Llandudno is a lovely seaside town on the north coast of Wales where you can take long walks along the promenade, visit the Victorian pier, take a tram up the Great Orme, and explore shops, cafes and family-friendly attractions. If you’re planning a trip, staying at a luxury hotel in Llandudno is a great way to enjoy the seaside town.
Here are our favourite six things to do in the area.
1. Llandudno Pier
This is the longest pier in Wales, stretching over 2,200 feet into the sea. You can enjoy lovely views of the coast while walking past small shops, ice-cream vans, and arcade games.
Stay in a luxury hotel Llandudno, where you can take advantage of being conveniently close to the beach and shops.
2. The Great Orme Tramway
Take a ride up the Great Orme, the big limestone headland that looks over the town. The historic tramway has been running since 1902. It climbs up steep hills to the summit, where you’ll find walks, a cafe, and amazing views of the sea below.
3. The Great Orme Copper Mine
For something a bit different, head underground to see one of the oldest metal mines in the world. The Great Orme Copper Mine dates back over 4,000 years. You can walk through tunnels made during the Bronze Age and learn how ancient people mined copper.
4. Beaches
Llandudno has two main beaches: the North Shore and the West Shore. The North Shore is perfect for families, with soft sand and a promenade. The West Shore is more peaceful and is great for sunsets and walks.
5. Llandudno ‘Home Front’ Museum
This small but interesting museum tells the story of the town and the people who lived there over the years.
6. Angel Bay
Angel Bay, accessed via a short walk from Penrhyn Bay, is a popular spot for observing grey seals, especially during the breeding season from late October to early November. During low tide, visitors can often see seals on the rocks or swimming in the bay.
