2019 is Wales’s ‘Year of Discovery’. It’s a theme that fits Llandudno and Conwy County like a glove.

Uniquely, this area sums up all that’s special about Wales in one neat package...its stunning coast and country, rich heritage and culture, immersive outdoor activities and indoor attractions, food, festivals and entertainment.

It’s a collection of experiences you won’t discover anywhere else. Start at the tip of Llandudno’s retro pier and travel into the timeless hills and mountains of Snowdonia, and you’ll come across everything from Punch and Judy to world-class contemporary art, one-of-a-kind outdoor experiences (inland surfing anyone?) to rousing, robust castles, exciting new attractions to existing favourites.

Neither will you go short on the good things in life. Stay at snazzy, stylish seafront hotels (we have the best choice in Wales) or characterful country boltholes. Eat at bistros and restaurants serving the finest locally-sourced produce. Dip into a vibrant night-time entertainment scene at theatres, pubs and clubs – and don’t miss the Big One, Wales’s National Eisteddfod, which comes to the handsome, historic market town of Llanrwst in 2019.

Take your time to discover it all.

This part of Wales welcomes visitors throughout the year. Springtime strolls along Llandudno’s immaculate promenade and Christmas shopping in Betws-y-Coed bookend a thriving all-season scene.

For the full picture delve into the pages of this publication. Enjoy the read.

It may be cold outside but wrapped up in your winter jacket you’ll feel a good–to–be–alive warmth and exhilaration up in Snowdonia’s mountains.

This image is the perfect scene-setter for the one message we really want to get across in this guide: Llandudno and Conwy County are open for business 24/7/12, shorthand for all day, every day, every month of the year.

And one year equals 365 different experiences. From warm summers on the beach to winters tucked up in cosy country inns, springtime wildlife-watching to autumnal walks in the woods, you’ll find plenty to see and do whatever the season.

There’s another message too, summed up in three words: adventure, culture, landscape. They’re the inspiration for Wales’s 2019 Year of Discovery. On the next few pages we’ll show you how, uniquely, you can experience all three along our coast and in our hills and mountains… at all times of the year.

Here are five of the best experiences in

and

spring

1 Blooming Bodnant.

It’s a must. Bodnant Garden’s famous Laburnum Arch bursts into life from late May. This 180ft/55m tunnel of drooping yellow blossoms is the perfect introduction to a garden that’s coming into colour everywhere after its winter slumbers.

2 The way to go.

See our shores on two wheels by cycling parts (or all, if you’re feeling energetic) of the waymarked 30-mile Conwy Cycle Route along the coast from Llanfairfechan to Kinmel Bay. You’ll also be following part of the recently launched North Wales Way, the new national route from Chester to Holyhead.

4

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

3 Walk the walls.

Blow the cobwebs away by walking Conwy’s medieval walls. Along with brooding, dark-stoned Conwy Castle, this 3/4-mile circuit, the most intact in Europe, guards a maze of narrow streets and alleyways.

4 Rural Rowen.

Rowen is one of the prettiest villages in Wales. That’s especially true in springtime, when the gardens of its traditional stone cottages are decked with flowers. Follow paths up into the Tal-y-Fan Mountain before returning to the village pub for a well-deserved pint.

5 Great to be alive.

That’s what you’ll feel on top of the Great Orme, the headland that rears up like a sea monster above Llandudno. This wildlife haven is one of Britain’s most important sites for rare plants. Springtime wildflowers peek through limestone grassland, seabirds gather on the cliffs and over 20 species of butterfly can be seen.

1 P is for…

Pier. Take a stroll in the summer breeze along Llandudno’s splendid pier, the longest in Wales.

Promenade. Then head to the prom. Like the pier, it goes on and on – all the way along an unblemished seafront that makes Llandudno the envy of other seaside resorts.

Punch and Judy. Stop off at Professor Codman’s show, a Llandudno favourite for over 150 years.

2 Catch a wave.

4 Summertime, and the livin’ is easy.

Sip a cocktail, chardonnay or craft beer on the terrace of the King’s Head, Llandudno’s oldest inn and don’t miss Headstock, its summer music festival.

5 Cool Colwyn.

It’s all change at Colwyn Bay. Walk Porth Eirias’s remodelled promenade, have a meal at awardwinning chef Bryn Williams’s snazzy seafront bistro, enjoy aquatic action at Colwyn Bay Watersports. Then do the traditional thing and visit the Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay’s caring conservation zoo.

Not in the sea but at Adventure Parc Snowdonia in the Conwy Valley, the world’s first inland surfing lagoon. Revolutionary technology guarantees the perfect wave every 90 seconds.

3 Up, up and away.

On a balmy summer’s day there’s no better place to be than Mynydd Hiraethog, the moorland that rolls away into the distance beneath big skies. Go first to the Llyn Brenig Visitor Centre to get your bearings and find out about local walks, cycle rides, fishing and watersports.

Autumn colour Here’s a quick taster from our activity-packed autumn and winter.

1 If you go down to the woods…

We’ll start with something woody after all, our woodlands are at their reddish, russety best at this time of year. Go to Coed y Gopa, an eye-catching mixed woodland of oak, elm, ash, pine and larch above Abergele. ‘It makes for a knockout show of autumn colour,’ says the Woodland Trust magazine.

2 We’ve got taste.

4 Art works.

Our food scene is buzzing and inventive, with menus covering everything from fine dining to the best fish and chips. You can’t go wrong in Conwy, for example.

Try multi award-winning Signatures in the Aberconwy Resort and Spa, or the big, bold flavours at Watson’s Bistro. Or the recently opened Midland, where Spain meets North Wales in a choice of tapas with the accent on seafood and local produce.

Follow the Helfa Gelf Art Trail every weekend in September, when studios and workshops throughout North Wales open their doors to visitors.

3 Undercover.

Okay, we’ll come clean. It sometimes rains in autumn. Don’t fret. There’s plenty to do inside and underground.

Go Below near Betws-y-Coed is an action-packed subterranean journey through abandoned mines (‘Pound for thrills, this might just be the best value day out in the UK,’ reckons The Sunday Times). Not to be outdone, at Llandudno you can explore Great Orme Copper Mine, the world’s oldest metal mine open to the public.

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

5 Opening time.

Autumn 2019 sees the scheduled opening of the innovative Conwy Culture Centre, where the arts and heritage (we have plenty of both) come alive in interactive exhibits and displays.

Winter warmth 1 Christmas shopping.

2 You’ll fall for this one…

4 That’s entertainment.

Forget Amazon. There’s a special magic about Christmas shopping - especially if you head our way. Llandudno’s Christmas Fayre is famously festive, and for more great gift ideas go to Betws-y-Coed’s speciality shops.

At nearby Trefriw Woollen Mills you can browse products manufactured on site. And Llandudno has the biggest and best shopping in North Wales (Mostyn gallery’s shop is outstanding for art and jewellery).

Swallow Falls usually reserves its best displays for winter. Natural Resources Wales reckons that the trail to the falls from Ty’n Llwyn four miles west of Betws-y-Coed is one of its ‘Ten Best Winter Walks’. If one waterfall isn’t enough head to the spectacular Conwy Falls the other side of Betws.

Pop, comedy, opera, drama, dance… they’re all on the bill at Venue Cymru, North Wales’s biggest entertainment and arts venue. The biggest? Oh yes it is! (during the winter season there’s panto too).

3 Snowy Snowdonia.

Now’s the time to see the white stuff on Snowdonia’s peaks. Get to grips with these mountains under expert tuition on outdoor courses run by Plas y Brenin National Mountain Sports Centre at Capel Curig. They cover everything from climbing to canoeing, mountain biking to hiking. If you’re planning your own outdoor adventures, take a look at adventuresmartwales.com... its advice on weather, gear and skills helps you stay safe.

5 In the dark.

Our winter night skies are crisp and inky - ideal conditions for a spot of stargazing. Head for the hills away from light pollution. Llyn Geirionydd above the Conwy Valley is a good choice. It has a real sense of solitude, especially at night.

LLAND

E v e ryone lo ves Here’s why, in one image, everyone loves Llandudno. Just take a look at the immaculate pier and prom. They haven’t changed much since their creation well over a century ago (something you can’t say about other seaside resorts).

Quite simply, Llandudno is a classic of its kind, cherished, unblemished and pristine. But it’s not fuddy-duddy or old-fashioned. That’s the key to its character. From its Victorian roots it has grown into a uniquely contemporary resort, the kind of place where you can build sandcastles or see modern art, admire period architecture and enjoy the latest entertainment, go shopping or wildlife-watching, ride a vintage tram or alpine cable car.

It’s staying beside the sea as it should be.

LLANDUD Travel writer and editor Roger Thomas and his wife Liz take a two-day break. You can follow in their footsteps at any time of the year. Whatever the season, Llandudno is full of life.

DAY 1 10am

Let’s start right at the top. By which I mean the summit of the Great Orme, the soaring 207m (679ft) headland that’s an essential part of Llandudno’s character.

Until October, you can get there by tramway or cable car. In winter, it’s a short, steep drive from the seafront. Our bird’s-eye view takes in the sweep of the bay and the mountains of Snowdonia. The Orme itself is uniquely diverse, home to a country park, ancient copper mines and an amazing variety of wildlife, including a herd of Kashmiri goats and some of the rarest plants in the world.

11.30am

Coffee time. There’s a great choice of coffee shops – and much else – in Llandudno’s busy canopied shopping streets just behind the prom.

10

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

2pm

After lunch we do what everyone does – take a walk along the pier. Wales’s longest pier carries us almost half a mile out to sea, and for every step of the way we soak up views of that picture-perfect, paintbox-coloured seafront – pure eye candy – that makes Llandudno such a special place.

3.30pm

We find out more about Llandudno – from its ancient roots to its birth as a resort – at the town’s museum (now closed for refurbishment, but scheduled to reopen in winter 2019 – see llandudnomuseum.co.uk). Then we call into the nearby Home Front Experience, an immersive little museum that takes you back to World War Two.

7pm

Time to eat. We’re spoilt for choice but plump for Dylan’s Restaurant, located in an extraordinary seafront setting. The food is as good as the surroundings – do what we did and go for the whitebait and sea bass.

DNO Live DAY 2

NOON

10am

We call into Llandudno Tourist Information Centre (in the Victoria Centre on Mostyn Street). As well as providing local knowledge on what to see and do, you’ll also get great gift ideas from its well-stocked range of local craft products, food and drink.

Llandudno’s 19th-century links with Alice Liddell (the real Alice in Wonderland) are fascinating. We trace her connections with the resort on the Alice Trail. Starting from the information centre and with the help of the map (there’s also an app available from alicetowntrails.co.uk), we follow the White Rabbit’s bronze footprints past landmark characters from her fantasy world, like the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts. It’s the ideal way to really get to know this heritage-rich resort that hasn’t changed that much since Alice’s time.

Sand and sandwich time. We grab a sandwich and head for the North Shore, a popular beach complete with boat trips, donkey rides and Punch and Judy. There’s lots of summery sandcastlebuilding going on (though, to be honest, I prefer it in its bracing, reviving winter persona).

Llandudno’s second beach – the West Shore – is peaceful throughout the year, with sweeping mountain views an added bonus.

2.30pm

We head for Mostyn, a personal favourite and one of Wales’s leading galleries, where cutting-edge art (and a seriously good gift shop) are housed in an ornate red-bricked building.

4pm

We’re not quite shopped out, so pay a visit to Parc Llandudno, the modern retail park on the edge of town.

7pm

Time for a slice of showbiz at Venue Cymru, North Wales’s largest entertainment complex, which stages a huge variety of starry performances.

It’s a major venue with world-class productions – everything from top West End shows and Welsh National Opera to big-name stars from pop, comedy and drama.

COASTI AL ONG 12

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

ING Llandudno is just part of our seaside story. There are communities all along our coastline, each one packed with things to see and do. Here’s a quick guide to what you can find on our shoreline, from east to west.

K i n m e l Bay an d Towyn

WHAT’S THE STORY? Kinmel Bay’s wide sandy beach is popular for thrilling coastal activities like kitesurfing, kayaking and windsurfing, while neighbouring Towyn is the place to be for buzzing beachfront amusements, arcades and entertainment.

DON’T MISS. Take a nature walk through the rolling landscape of Kinmel Dunes Nature Reserve, an unspoilt expanse where you can spot countless seabirds in the sky and grey seals swimming just off the coast. If you’re in the mood for action, head to Tir Prince Leisure Park where you’ll find Americanstyle harness horse racing and high-speed rollercoasters, or try the go-karts and fairground rides at Knightley’s Fun Park.

Ab e rg e le an d P e n sar n

WHAT’S THE STORY? It’s two for the price of one. Set slightly back from the coast and a great jumping-off point for country walks, the historic town of Abergele is full of tempting independent shops, while Pensarn’s big sandy beach serves up seaside fun in buckets and spades.

DON’T MISS. Take a walk up to the 178m (583ft) Tower Hill. Local legend says it was once the site of an Elizabethan watchtower that guarded the coast against pirates, but today it’s the perfect vantage point for stunning sea views. Alternatively, head for the beach. It’s often quieter than some of its better-known coastal neighbours, so you’ll have plenty of room to enjoy the sand and sea – and sun, if last year’s summer is anything to go by. If you’re a golfer, don’t forget your clubs. There’s also an excellent 18-hole golf course.

WHAT’S THE STORY? While Colwyn Bay has been attracting visitors since the Victorian era, it’s not afraid to move with the times. In recent years, the seafront has been transformed with the arrival of the Porth Eirias development (home to Michelin award-winning chef Bryn Williams’s bistro) and the construction of a whole new beach.

harbour town packs a huge amount of personality into a compact package. There’s the traditional promenade (ideal for gentle seaside strolls), colourful boats bobbing in the harbour, children dipping for crabs at the water’s edge, and a charming puppet theatre, the only one of its kind in Britain. It all adds up to a perfect, pocket-sized resort.

probably heard of Conwy’s historic quayside, an authentic old waterfront (complete with famous ‘Smallest House’, an impossibly tiny fisherman’s cottage) that huddles beneath the town’s medieval castle and walls. But it’s worth exploring the entire estuary, both sides of the shore. On Conwy’s side there’s Conwy Quays, a modern marina with splendid views across the water to another swish, stylish boat-filled marina on the opposite bank at Deganwy. They’re both a continuation of this area’s strong seafaring and maritime traditions.

DON’T MISS. Enjoy some aquatic action at Colwyn Bay Watersports (also found at Porth Eirias), which offers courses in windsurfing, sailing, stand-up paddleboarding and power boating. Away from the water, you’ll find animal magic at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, home to rare and endangered creatures like red pandas, snow leopards and Sumatran tigers.

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

DON’T MISS. The clear waters round here are alive with fish of all shapes and sizes. Go in search of the big one with a sea-angling trip from the harbour.

Or stay on dry land and explore Rhos-on-Sea’s stellar shopping scene of independent boutiques selling antiques, vintage clothes and jewellery.

DON’T MISS. See it all on a boat trip from Conwy’s quayside. And sample succulent Conwy mussels.

Rhos-on-Sea is home to a very different kind of theatrical encounter. The Harlequin Theatre is the first and only permanent puppet theatre in Britain. If movies are more your thing, catch all the latest releases in the Cineworld multiplex at Llandudno Junction.

PLAYING TO THE GALLERY

Mostyn in Llandudno isn’t only one of the UK’s best contemporary art galleries.

It’s also a fascinating architectural achievement, with a gold-spired Edwardian façade giving way to a series of strikingly modern interior spaces. Inside you’ll find a shifting programme of exhibitions that showcase the best in contemporary art and craft from Wales and beyond. There’s also a cool café and stylish shop selling jewellery, ceramics, prints and books.

P IC TU R E PER FECT

The highly respected Royal Cambrian

Academy of Art in Conwy focuses on artistic excellence in Wales, with a mix of historic and contemporary works.

There’s more amazing art at beautiful Ffin y Parc in Llanrwst, a grand country house that showcases some of the finest artists working in Wales alongside the best of contemporary 20th-century art. Displayed in immaculately designed rooms, all are available to buy. Don’t worry if your budget won’t stretch to taking a painting home with you.

The cakes on sale in the café are masterpieces in their own right.

TRAIL FINDERS

For a wide-ranging look at our diverse art and craft scene take a trip on the Helfa Gelf Art Trail, Wales’s largest open studios event. Every September hundreds of artists from all over North Wales welcome visitors to their studios, offering a fascinating insight into the creative process.

DUST HAS SETTLED ON ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE. BUT THERE’S NO GETTING AWAY FROM THE POWER AND MIGHT, UNDIMINISHED THROUGH THE CENTURIES, OF CONWY CASTLE.

It was built in the 13th century as one of King Edward I’s ‘iron ring’ of fortresses in his campaign against Wales.

Its soaring walls and towers, set against Snowdonia’s mountains and the sea, still stand tall so much so that the castle, along with Conwy’s well-preserved town walls, is a World Heritage Site.

It’s one of Europe’s great castles – but also just one chapter in our page-turning history and heritage. There’s lonely Dolwyddelan for example, home of the Welsh princes, perched on a craggy outcrop amid the peaks of Snowdonia. The atmospheric ruins of Deganwy Castle are located in a prime spot overlooking the North Wales coast. At Llanrwst you’ll find the Tudor-era and muchhaunted Gwydir Castle.

Finally, there’s Gwrych Castle in Abergele, a medieval-style mansion built in the early 19th-century.

Little and large

Haunted house

Mother tongue

Our history comes in all shapes and sizes. On Conwy’s quay, you’ll find the Smallest House in Great Britain. Measuring just 1.8m/6ft by 3m/10ft, this miniature terraced property was inhabited until 1900 but now serves as a tiny time capsule of Conwy’s past. At the other end of the scale is Plas Mawr (‘Big House’ in English). This grand Elizabethan townhouse inside Conwy’s crowded town walls is the finest of its kind in the UK. The lavish interior has been immaculately restored to its 16th-century splendour, while interactive touchscreen displays bring the building’s history to life.

Home of the powerful Wynn family for more than two centuries, Gwydir Castle at Llanrwst is steeped in history.

Restored after years of dereliction, this fortified Tudor manor house is known for its royal connections (both King Charles I and King George V stayed here), impressive original features like the oakpanelled Dining Room and the ghosts that reputedly haunt its halls. Simple from the outside, nearby Gwydir Uchaf Chapel has an elaborate painted ceiling.

A humble stone farmhouse deep in the hills above Penmachno has a huge cultural significance within Wales. Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant, now cared for by the National Trust, was the birthplace in around 1545 of Bishop William Morgan who helped secure the future of the Welsh language as the first translator of the Bible into Welsh.

Changing rooms Conwy’s many architectural treasures also include 14thcentury Aberconwy House.

One of Wales’s oldest townhouses, it’s a fascinating trip through several eras of history. As you explore, you’ll pass through rooms decorated in Jacobean, Georgian and Victorian styles, each reflecting a different period in the house’s long life.

Meet the makers We’ve centuries of industrial heritage to discover too.

Start out in the hills above Penmaenmawr where you’ll find a Stone Age ‘axe factory’ that made tools which have been found all over Britain.

Then it’s on to the Great Orme Copper Mines, where Bronze Age workers dug out a network of subterranean tunnels more than 3,500 years ago. Finally, jump forward to the Industrial Revolution, when engineer Thomas Telford created Conwy’s stunning, game-changing suspension bridge, then see industry in action at Trefriw Woollen Mills, founded in the mid-19th century and still going strong.

Z I P WORLD F FORE S T, BET WS- Y- COE D

It’s Llandudno’s inland neighbour and the gateway to the Snowdonia National Park.

Here’s our list of eight can’t-miss things to see and do in and around Betws-y-Coed.

Take the train

Walk this way...

Ride the rails for the best introduction to Betws-y-Coed. Take the 40-minute train journey along the Conwy Valley line from Llandudno and you’ll pass through some of the loveliest riverside and mountain views in North Wales.

Or ride, or take your pick from a range of all things outdoorsy. There’s a good reason why Betws-y-Coed is popular whatever the season. It’s a thriving hub for walkers, cyclists, kayakers and just about every other type of fresh-air enthusiast.

Take the train (again) Rail enthusiasts love Conwy Valley Railway Museum, located right next to the main station. Climb aboard a miniature steam train for an eight-minute trip through landscaped grounds, visit a museum full of fascinating railway artefacts and browse the huge collection of model trains in the shop.

Be a fall guy (or girl)

In the know

Browse boutiques selling one-of-a-kind craft items harking back to the Betws-y-Coed’s 19th-century past as an artists’ colony, or stock up on all the gear you’ll need for outdoor adventures in Snowdonia. Bustling Betws is a shopper’s paradise, and a great place to source those special Christmas gifts.

One of your first stops should be the Snowdonia National Park Information Centre, a fount of knowledge on things to see and do locally. There’s also a spectacular introductory film featuring high-altitude drone footage and a virtual summit that recreates the 360-degree views from Snowdon’s peak.

Watch the rushing waters at Swallow Falls, where the River Llugwy plunges through a rocky channel in a series of tumbling cascades. One of Wales’s most famous beauty spots, it’s at its most spectacular in autumn, winter and spring.

Make sure you bring your camera.

Be a social climber Take to the trees with friends and family at Zip World Fforest to tackle ropes, nets and swings strung through the canopy. There’s also the Fforest Coaster toboggan run and the new Plummet 2, a pulse-pounding 100ft/30m drop through a trapdoor that’s the closest things to freefall this side of an aeroplane.

Ca fés and choirs You’ll build up quite an appetite exploring Betws, so treat yourself to a bite to eat and refreshing beverage in one of the town’s cafés and restaurants.

The lively Y Stablau (Stables) is one of the best, serving up live music and special events alongside tasty locally sourced food and drink. Look out also for male voice choir summer evening concerts at St Mary’s Church.

Flanking the lush Conwy Valley on one side there’s the Gwydyr Forest Park, a landscape latticed with trails for casual and serious walkers not to mention hidden lakes and an abundant wildlife. Venture further west and you’re into high-altitude Snowdonia, with its rocky peaks and classic mountain hikes.

On the other side of the valley there’s the very different landscape of Mynydd Hiraethog, a high, wild plateau clothed in forest, moor and heather, centred around the lake of Llyn Brenig, a focal point for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.

And don’t forget the coast. How could you, when you have almost 35 miles of the worldfamous Wales Coast Path to explore, all the way from Llanfairfechan to Kinmel Bay?

STARS IN YOUR EYES

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

Go star trekking in Snowdonia’s Dark Sky Reserve. Thanks to low levels of light pollution and wide, open spaces, it’s one of just 11 such reserves in the world... the perfect place for stargazing, with the Milky Way, distant constellations and shooting stars all visible on a clear night.

OUTWARD BOUND

WALKING, WILDLIFE SPOTTING, CYCLING, SURFING... THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE REASONS TO GET OUT AND ABOUT.

ANIMAL MAGIC

OVERGROUND

Wild about wildlife? Bring your binoculars to spot the residents of Conwy’s RSPB Reserve, which include black-tailed godwits, lapwings and sedge warblers. Visit watery Llyn Brenig to catch a glimpse of rare creatures like red squirrels and ospreys, or wander over Llandudno’s rugged Great Orme for an encounter with our resident population of Kashmiri goats. You’ll also see exotic beasts at Colwyn Bay Mountain Zoo, plus farm animals, owls and birds of prey at Bodafon Farm Park in Llandudno.

Go Below Underground Adventure near Betws-y-Coed is the ultimate dramatic subterranean experience.

In former mines deep beneath Snowdonia you’ll discover a world of deep blue lakes, zip wires, bridges, ladders and abseils. It’s an assault course like no other. Back on the surface, tackle Snowdonia’s high country from Plas y Brenin National Mountain Sports Centre, Capel Curig, which lays on all kinds of courses and outdoor experiences.

THE WHEEL THING

GET ON TRACK

You’ll find marvellously muddy off-road routes in our hills and forest. Head to Penmachno or the Gwydyr Forest Park for some of the UK’s most spectacular and scenic mountain biking. For road cyclists there are lung-busting climbs and gentle family trails like the Conwy Cycle Route, an almost entirely trafficfree 30-mile coastal cruise.

Feed your need for speed at GYG Karting in Cerrigydrudion. It’s the largest karting circuit in the UK, providing high-octane thrills for racers of all ages.

IN THE ZONE North Wales’s reputation as the UK’s activity capital is down to places like Adventure Parc Snowdonia and Zip World Fforest.

The waves arrive like clockwork at Adventure Parc Snowdonia, Conwy Valley’s unique inland surf lagoon, where revolutionary technology serves up the perfect swell. There’s also a soft play area for the kids, with a number of new developments planned for 2019 including an indoor adventure centre. See page 32 for more details.

Just down the valley there’s Zip World Fforest, an aerial adventure experience with zip lines, toboggan rides and simulated parachute jumps. And at Llandudno’s Ski and Snowboard Centre there’s guaranteed on-piste fun and games whatever the weather.

UP THE GARDEN PATH Bodnant Garden in the Vale of Conwy is a National Trust treasure. It packs amazing horticultural variety into its 80 acres/32ha, from Italianate terraces, crafted water features and manicured meadows to the wild, tangled world of The Dell. It’s no surprise to learn that a remake of The Secret Garden starring Julie Walters and Colin Firth, scheduled for release in 2019, was partly filmed here. Across the valley there’s Conwy Water Gardens, an aquatic centre with fishing lakes, reptile house and nature walks.

LoCAL FLAVoUR Our pristine countryside, rivers and seas are the source of fine, fresh food and drink.

Here’s a taste.

Mussel power Sustainably hand-raked from Conwy Estuary just as they have been for centuries, deliciously meaty Conwy mussels are known as the best flavoured in the UK. Pop into the shop on the harbour for mussels at their freshest then visit the Conwy Mussel Museum to find out more about these succulent shellfish.

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

A feast of a festival Taking place every October, Gwledd Conwy Feast is the biggest and best food festival in North Wales. The town’s historic streets are transformed as producers gather to showcase their wares, alongside a local food market, street food vendors and cooking demonstrations. Completing the menu is a busy programme of live music, art and crafts and an explosive finale with fireworks lighting up the sky above Conwy.

Local heroes

Bottoms up

There’s mighty meat at Edwards of Conwy. The award-winning butchers serve up tempting cuts of locally sourced Welsh beef and saltmarsh lamb, plus traditional hand-made sausages and pies. If you’re on the go, there’s also a fantastic selection of freshly made sandwiches. For more local delicacies, head to Llandudno Tourist Information Centre, where produce from across the area is on offer alongside guides, maps and travel advice.

Fancy a tipple? Take a tour of Conwy Vineyard to find out exactly how they make their five varieties of wine (and taste a few samples while you’re at it). If gin’s your thing, take your pick from two distilleries, North Star and Snowdonia, producers of award-winning spirits using ingredients foraged from the North Wales countryside.

WHAT’S NEW?

Keep an eye open for these new developments in 2019

YOU WON’T MISS THE BOAT Llandudno’s Old Lifeboat Station is the new home of the Boathouse Climbing Centre, opening early in 2019. North Wales’s latest climbing centre will appeal to all-comers, beginners and experts alike. It features around 300 sq m (3,230 sq ft) of climbing surface with 8m (26ft) lead walls, a roof bouldering area and human ‘rat run’ cave system created in the roof space.

RIDING THE CREST OF A WAVE From summer 2019 Surf Snowdonia in the Conwy Valley becomes Adventure Parc Snowdonia. Don’t worry, surfing dudes. The 300m (984ft) inland surfing lagoon – a world’s first – will remain a key part of the attraction. The renaming/rebranding reflects the broader range of activities on site, the result of a development of around £16m. These include:

• Adrenaline Indoors – a nature-inspired high-thrills climbing, artificial caving adventure experience.

• Explore Outdoors – fresh-air family activities including an off-road pump track, mountain bike trail, bouldering, fun and fitness trail and adventure playground.

• Adventure Concierge Service – to encourage visitors to explore exciting instructor-led activities off-site and visit other leading attractions in the region.

A new chapter IN CONWY COUNTY’S STORY

Heritage-rich Conwy is about to add to its cultural assets.

The Conwy Culture Centre, scheduled to open in autumn 2019, is housed in a striking contemporary building with views over Conwy’s medieval castle and town walls.

It features an arts and heritage hub with interactive interpretation and historic collections plus a new library and home for the County Archive. For visitors, it’s the perfect gateway to the story of Conwy County – and also a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee against the stunning backdrop of Conwy Castle.

past a new future Llandudno Museum and Gallery has always been a treasure chest of all things local - from prehistoric and Roman times to Llandudno’s growth as a seaside resort.

It’s currently going through a complete makeover in preparation for its reopening in winter 2019 as Llandudno’s prime all-year, all-weather heritage attraction. Highlights of the redevelopment include new galleries, exhibitions and interpretation, family fun and exciting activities, a drop-in heritage and community hub, refreshments area and improved access throughout.

into the Night 5 top evening experiences

From bustling seaside pubs to late night ski experiences on the Great Orme, Here are CCBC Tourism Marketing Officer – Jasmin Koffler’s five top evening experiences. For more great ideas follow us on facebook.com/VisitingLlandudno

➊

For the jokers...

Comedy nights are extremely popular in Llandudno and the surrounding areas, with many pubs hosting regular comedy evenings. Head to The Great Orme Brewery or Colwyn Bay’s Station Pub on the last Saturday of every month for an evening full of side-splittingly funny entertainment.

Guest comedians in the past have included Wales’ own Tudur Owen, as well as the fabulous Dan Nightingale - a top-class circuit headliner who earned rave reviews at Edinburgh Fringe 2018. Find out more at greatormebrewery.co.uk or facebook.com/standupattheseaside

For the theatre lovers...

➋

There’s no business like show business! Avid theatre-goers can enjoy magical and inspiring performances at Llandudno’s Venue Cymru - a theatre, conference and events facility close to the centre of Llandudno. The theatre regularly hosts West End favourites, as well as popular music concerts and theatrical productions. For a full list of upcoming shows and events, visit venuecymru.co.uk

For the partygoers...

➌

Llandudno has a bustling nightlife community and houses many popular bars including Fountains, The Lily and The Palladium (more commonly known as Llandudno’s Whetherspoons). Lookout for seasonal offers throughout the year and enjoy a cocktail, live music and the occasional karaoke evening. At the end of the night, the party continues in the town’s two nightclubs Club 147 or Broadway Boulevard!

For a more relaxed evening, visit one of the traditional ale pubs including The Kings Arms, The Cottage Loaf (Llandudno), and The Erskine Arms (Conwy) - all of which have a friendly and laid-back atmosphere. Typically housed in period buildings, these pubs ooze character and charm, reiterating the history of the Victorian and Medieval resorts of Llandudno and Conwy.

➍

For the brave...

Are you brave enough to spend a night in a haunted castle? For those that enjoy haunting tales and ghostly visits, take a guided ghost tour at Gwrych Castle where you can investigate reports of notorious ghosts that haunt the castle at night. Guests will then be taken on vigils around the grounds of the castle and the restored tower. Visit gwrychcastle.co.uk for more details - if you dare!

For the adrenaline seekers...

➎

Booked a ski holiday and want some extra practice before your trip? Llandudno Snowsports Centre offers a wide range of PermaSnow slope-based activities – skiing, snowboarding and even sno-tubing!

Located on the Great Orme, the centre provides a late ski session every Thursday until 10pm. Ski the night away and admire the stunning views of Llandudno Bay at night!

Making the grade A guide to quality assurance All the accommodation featured in this publication has been independently assessed so you can make your choice in confidence, knowing that each place to stay has been given a rating according to the quality and facilities on offer. These ratings mean that you can be sure of standards and choose the accommodation that’s just right for you. Visit Wales/AA are the only checking agents in Wales, checking out over 5,000 places.

What do our star ratings mean?

Visit Wales STARS are evidence of quality. They range from one to five stars and are a reliable indication of the services and facilities you can expect in accommodation which includes hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfast, farm accommodation, hostel/hostel type accommodation, self-catering cottages and apartments and caravan holiday home and touring/camping parks.

Cleanliness is the most crucial element of any assessment and minimum standards, particularly at the higher star ratings which reflect consumer expectations.

All accommodation grades are based on a set of common quality standards agreed by Visit Wales, Visit England, Visit Scotland, Tourism Northern Ireland and the AA.

Does a lower star rating equal less quality?

Many lower star rated accommodations may still offer high quality but do not meet all of the facility and service expectations for the higher star ratings. It is particularly important not to compare Guest Accommodation ratings against Hotel ratings as different criteria are used when assessing. The advice is to always check with an establishment before booking to check that the accommodation offers the services and facilities that meet your needs - they will only be too pleased to help.

Also look out for that extra-special property that has been awarded Visit Wales’ Gold Award, given for exceptional standards of hospitality, comfort and food in serviced accommodation.

Occasionally, it has not been possible to visit the accommodation prior to publication. In these instances, the property is marked.

Some accommodation operators have chosen not to be star rated, but they have been checked out to ensure that they provide an acceptable level of services and facilities appropriate to their type of business. They are identified as either ‘Verified’ or ‘Listed’.

Visitor Attractions Look out for the Visit Wales Quality marque. This only gets awarded to attractions that have been independently assessed against the national standards of the Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Scheme to ensure that all areas important to your visit are of the best standard.

VISITLLANDUDNO.ORG.UK

General information Accommodating visitors with disabilities All Visit Wales graded properties have an Access Statement/Accessibility Guide. This tells visitors in a clear, accurate and honest way how the property can meet their particular needs. Three symbols help visitors with physical impairments find the Access Statements/Accessibility Guides of most relevance to them. Accommodation providers have selected the one symbol which best describes the improvements that they have made to their properties.

Look out for these symbols:

Y V K

Access improved for mobility impaired people

Access improved for visually impaired people

Access improved for hearing impaired people

The advice is always to check with an establishment before booking to confirm that the accommodation offers the services and facilities that meet your needs.

Please note:

All gradings and awards were correct at the time of going to press. Occasionally, it may not have been possible to undertake a grading.

This situation is clearly identified by ‘Awaiting Grading’ appearing within the advertisement/entry. Grading assessments are on-going and improvements made by establishments may have resulted in a revision since publication. Please check when booking. Further information on gradings and awards is available from Visit Wales Welsh Assembly Government, Rhodfa Padarn, Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3UR Telephone: 0845 010 8020 Email: quality.tourism@gov.wales

Any problems? In the unfortunate event

that you do encounter problems with your chosen accommodation, please refer to visitwales.com/grading/ complaints for further guidance.

Cancellation and Insurance

When you confirm a holiday booking, please bear in mind that you are entering a legally binding contract which entitles the proprietor to compensation if you fail to take up the accommodation or depart earlier than planned. It’s always wise to arrange holiday insurance to cover you for cancellation and other unforeseen eventualities. If you have to alter your travel plans, please advise the holiday operator or proprietor immediately.

PLEASE CHECK ALL PRICES AND FACILITIES BEFORE CONFIRMING YOUR BOOKING.

ENJOY YOUR STAY… and remember, in the unfortunate event that you encounter a problem with the accommodation, please contact the owner or the manager of the business at the time of your visit so that they have an opportunity to put matters right at the time.
