Llandudno is Wales's largest
holiday resort and its legacy as a popular
Victorian Holiday destination is still more than
evident today. It has a magnificent promenade
lined with grand elegant hotels, and a classically
Victorian Pier.

Situated in Llandudno bay,
there are two beaches; the popular North
Shore, and the quieter West Shore which is
backed by sand dunes. At one end of the bay
lies the famous "Great Orme", an enormous
towering limestone rock. Views from the top
are truly breathtaking. You can gain access to
the top by either the tramway, or cable car.
For a quicker route down, why not try the dry
ski slope! It is the longest artificial ski
slope in Britain and each year plays host to
the Artificial Ski Championships. |
The Orme is also
home to an
ancient network
of copper mines
dating back to
the Bronze Age.
First discovered
by "The Great
Orme Exploration
Society", they
were opened to
the public in
1991 by "Great
Orme Mines".
From the visitor
centre you can
actually go on
an underground
visit where you
can watch
archaeologists
at work.
