Llandudno
The largest seaside resort town in Wales, Llandudno is a small
city with a great deal of Victorian flavour. Nestled in a rocky
coastline that was once the haunt of Viking ships, the city's rows
of peaked houses are framed by forests on one side, and blue-flag
certified beaches on the other.
Popular from the Victorian era, some of the top attractions in
Llandudno are manmade: the longest pier in Wales is located at the
end of the north-shore promenade, and features food, entertainment,
and relaxation at its pavilion, and boat trips. Bodafon Farm Park
is a working farm turned tourist attraction that also houses a bird
of prey sanctuary.
Active visitors to Llandudno will enjoy Happy Valley, which
boasts an artificial ski slope and toboggan run, miniature golf,
hiking trails and a cable car to the summit of the Great Orme. The
surrounding areas of County Conwy offer their own enticements,
including golf, quad biking, hiking, and a number of interesting
castle ruins.
Llandudno has a lively nightlife that fits its small size, with
a variety of restaurants, cafes, and bars to entertain locals and
tourists. A must-try is the ice cream at Fortes, which has been
freshly made for over a century. The city has its fair share of
cultural pursuits, with a ballet, opera, and regular orchestral
concerts. Llandudno also has a small but active gay community,
which frequents the clubs in Upper Mostyn Street along with much of
the younger population.
