Llandudno: Things To See and Do in Llandudno
The town of Llandudno in North Wales is one of the country's premier holiday resorts and is found on the northern coast of Conwy. Because of this, there are plenty of Llandudno attractions that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family whilst staying in this beautiful coastal town.
The town itself lies between two very carboniferous headlands known as Great Orme and Little Orme. The town faces the Irish Sea on one side and to the other is the estuary of the River Conwy. Between these headlands and the western and northern shores, the town has much to offer tourists.
The Great Orme reaches a height of 680 feet and is home to Tudno Church, Great Orme's copper minds and is a stop for the Llandudno Tramway. The hill is also home to a flock of 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 is also home to a wide variety of different coastal birds including Razorbills, Guillemots and Cormorants. It is also in one of its caves that during the 1580's a printing press was housed in order that Catholic prayers and other tracts were able to be produced.

In Llandudno, you'll find The Alice in Wonderland Centre where one can enter through the Rabbit Hole and visit the world of Alice along with the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. Llandudno was chosen to host the museum as Alice Liddel lived in the town as a child.
Another of the most popular attractions in this town is its Pier. The structure was actually designed and built in only one year by James Brunlees and Charles Henry Driver and then officially opened in 1878. If you choose to walk along the pier, you will see a variety of ornately decorated small buildings that house a bar, cafe and amusements. There are also gift shops if you're on a hunt for souvenirs.
During the summer months, 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.
