LEGENDARY LLANDUDNO

THE INSIDE STORY 04 Child's play 04

In 2017, we’re celebrating our Year of Legends. You’ll find plenty of epic experiences in Wales’ biggest and best seaside resort. Here are some to get you started. Llandudno has a habit of creating legends. Discover the resort’s connections with a world-famous literary fable, Alice in Wonderland, on the Alice Trail. Or relax into a classic British beach holiday (they’re back in fashion, you know). Our peerless pier, the longest in Wales, commands a sandy seafront that comes complete with all the seaside staples like deckchairs, donkey rides and Punch and Judy. Delve into ancient history at Great Orme Mines, the world’s oldest Bronze Age copper mines. You’ll find them on Llandudno’s own mini-mountain. Taking its name from the old Norse word for sea serpent, Great Orme’s cliff-fringed headland is an unspoilt wilderness conveniently located right next to town. Head to the 679ft/207m summit on foot, by cable car or historic tram for activities that range from wildlife spotting to skiing and tobogganing.

ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD

North Wales is the world’s fourth best place to visit. No, we didn’t make that up. Leading travel publisher Lonely Planet ranked it that high in its 10 ‘Best in Travel’ regions for 2017.

And, if you haven’t already found somewhere to stay, they can help you choose from our great range of accommodation, too. Just remember, the longer you stay, the more time you’ll have to enjoy Llandudno! VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

Llandudno Boat Trips Donkey Rides

Alice in Wonderland

NORTH SHORE & PROMENADE

There’s never a dull moment at the North Shore! All the best old-fashioned ways to enjoy our beautiful coast are here. Punch and Judy shows, donkey rides on the sand, ice cream on the pier, live music from the bandstand. Not forgetting falling asleep in your deckchair! Plus, a play area, paddling pool and snacks at the Prom’s east end.

LLANDUDNO TOWN BAND Map Ref:D7

Still blowing strong after over 100 years. The band perform live from the bandstand on the promenade every Sunday, for Songs of praise, and Monday for a concert of popular music, starting on 28 May and finishing on 28 August - 7:30pm-8:30pm (weather permitting).

BOAT TRIPS Map Ref:C6

CHILD'S PLAY Buckets and spades. Sand between your toes. Trying to decipher the words in a stick of rock. The promise of ice cream before bed. WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT LLANDUDNO? Our range of attractions is a big hit with families. Take a boat trip around the Great Orme, see the sights from an open top bus and get to know the animals at Bodafon Farm. For a spot of nostalgia, take a ride on the Great Orme Tramway. Or in complete contrast, discover the Alice in Wonderland connection to Llandudno through two exciting town trail apps.

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

The Jetty, North Shore, Llandudno 07961 561589 One of the best ways to see Llandudno is from a boat, hop aboard Sea-Jay for a water-based sightseeing trip to see the Little Orme and Great Orme; or a longer sea fishing trip on Starfish from Conwy on a charter basis when you can enjoy the breathtaking coastline in the hope of catching your own dinner.

BIG SHIP LTD Map Ref:C6

The Jetty, North Shore, Llandudno 01492 877458 Hop aboard one of the speedboats and whiz by the Great and Little Ormes in a blur of spray and salt. Great fun! Open from Easter to the end of September (weather permitting).

North Shore Beach

LLANDUDNO LAND TRAIN Map Ref:C5

North Shore, Llandudno 01492 877458 Few modes of transport raise more smiles, from both passengers and passers-by, than the Llandudno Land Train. The urge to wave to the crowds, as the multi-coloured engine ‘chuffs’ its way between the North and West Shore, is too much to resist. Also 1 hour trips around the Marine Drive. Runs from April to October.

PROFESSOR CODMAN’S PUNCH AND JUDY Map Ref:C5

07900 555515 The Codman family has been performing this firm seaside favourite for over 150 years next to the pier on the North Shore Promenade. Daily shows take place at weekends and school holidays (weather permitting) between Easter and September. Performances are at 2pm and 4pm and also at 12.30pm during the height of the season and on Bank Holidays. Additional performances for school parties by arrangement.

WEST SHORE

Llandudno’s quieter shore has play areas for children and adults too. Plus a pond perfect for model boats. Look out across the mouth of the Conwy Estuary to see some of the best views around, and (if your timing’s good) the most spectacular sunsets.

MARINE DRIVE TOURS Map Ref:C5

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

CITY SIGHTSEEING

It seems fitting that a magical story like Alice in Wonderland is closely associated with Llandudno. Its author, Lewis Carroll was inspired by a real Alice, Alice Liddell. The Liddell family first came to Llandudno in 1861 staying at the St Tudno Hotel. They liked the area so much that they had a house built on the West Shore and Alice spent many childhood summers here. The family were friends with Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll.

01492 879133 Get on board a vintage coach for a one hour tour of Marine Drive and enjoy breathtaking views of Anglesey, Snowdonia and out over the Irish Sea. Tour departs daily throughout the year from the pier entrance at 11am, 1pm & 3pm. Map Ref:C5 01492 879133 city-sightseeing.com Sightseeing has never been so much fun! Take an open-top bus tour around Llandudno and Conwy. Tours start at North Parade near the pier, with buses hourly from 10.15am (every 30 minutes peak season) 4 March to 29 October.
