Llandudno Pier is an impressive structure that dominates the coastline of Llandudno, a picturesque town in North Wales. The largest pier in Wales, stretching 2,296 feet into the Irish Sea, is one of the finest, and best preserved, examples of a Victorian pier you will find anywhere in the UK.

With a paddling pool and climbing frame at one end and pantomime puppet shows at the other, this strand is a child’s dream.

A prominent limestone headland on the north coast of Wales, the Great Orme has mystified historians and archaeologists for centuries.

The only cable-hauled tramway in Britain, and in fact one of the last remaining in the world, the Great Orme Tramway is one of the most beloved heritage attractions in Wales, carrying in the region of 160,000 passengers every year from Victoria Station in Llandudno to the Summit Station, a distance of around a mile. First opened at the turn of the 20th Century, and preserved in part through funding from the National Lottery and the EU, the tramway operates on a funicular system, whereby each car is attached to the cable that is winched up the hill, the weight of the descending car helping to pull up the one ascending.

Hailed as the “Queen of the Welsh Resorts”, with its stunning coastline and buzzing nightlife, Llandudno offers a royal welcome to you that richly rewards. Llandudno is the largest resort in Wales. It sits comfortably between the Great and Little Ormes and boasts two wonderful sandy beaches, which is a rare treat indeed for anywhere in the British isles.
