Llandudno's Best Attractions

By Samia Jones

With many fantastic attractions suitable for all ages Llandudno is North Wales best tourist resort. For teenagers and young adults there is dry skiing on the Great Orme, ten pin bowling at Llandudno Superbowl, and visits to the cinema, as well as a wide choice of bars and pubs. For younger children you can enjoy a great day out on Llandudno beach or ride to the summit of the Great Orme on Llandudno's stunning cable car ride which is the longest in Britain. If a more relaxed lifestyle is for you take in the view on Llandudno's picturesque promenade, have some fine tea and scones at Badger's Tea Rooms, and take advantage of the finest shopping facilities in North Wales at Parc Llandudno.

Curving between two picturesque headlands known as The Great and Little Ormes Llandudno promenade is a great place to sit and relax. The promenade is lined with Victorian hotels and it's character has been carefully maintained by the town council over the decades. None of the usual tourist shops line the promenade and amusement arcades have been banished as well. All this creates a truly terriffic and picturesque location where you can enjoy Llandudno's beautiful bay.

Llandudno's Victorian pier is well over one hundred years old and is a scenic walk offering excellent views of Llandudno and the Great Orme. The pier itself has plenty of things to do for children with amusement arcades and rides and a small number of stalls are dotted along the pier selling a variety of tourist items. You can enjoy panoramic views of Llandudno's promenade from the pier and also get a good view of Happy Valley and the start of the cable car ride.

Ride from the foot of the Great Orme in Happy Valley to it's summit on Llandudno's cable car ride which is Britain's longest. Up to four adults or two adults and two to three small children can ride in each car. The Great Orme Summit Complex has views as far as the Snowdonia mountains and Anglesey to the west. You'll also find a visitor centre, amusement arcade and children's playground at the summit.

Take the Great Orme tram to the summit which is just a short ride from the town centre. With open windows you'll travel in style from the base station to the summit. The tram is a great alternative if it's too windy for the cable cars or you dislike heights. At the half way station a small exhibition details some of the history of the trams in Llandudno.

A great attraction near the summit of the Great Orme is the Great Orme Copper Mines. They are estimated to date back over 4000 years show what life could have been like for the early settlers in North Wales. Take a tour through the caverns and tunnels chiseled out millennia ago and learn the history of this fantastic attraction.

Back in Llandudno town centre and for the younger generation there is ten pin bowling at Llandudno Superbowl. There's a fully licensed bar at the venue and food available from the cafe. After the bowling take a walk up through Happy Valley to Ski Llandudno which has an alpine lodge and dry ski slope. A toboggan run is fun for all the family and weaves around the dry ski slope.

Cineworld Llandudno is the perfect venue to watch the latest blockbuster movies. Situated close to the A55 dual carriageway the cinema is just 10 minutes by car from Llandudno town centre. Next to the cinema there is Pizza Hut, McDonalds, and KFC so you're never short of a bite to eat. If you're looking for a night out in Llandudno there are a variety of pubs and bars to visit. Upper Mostyn Street is where most are located currently and live music is available on a regular basis.

Llandudno is North Wales best location for shopping so if you're looking for a bargain then this is the location for you. A long high street has plenty of choice including many of the major retail stores. Towards the bottom end of Llandudno is the recently opened Parc Llandudno which has plenty of free parking spaces and well known shops such as Debenhams, Next, River Island, and Bhs. - 18424
