Llandudno, North Wales - ref. VFB_0084
Some views showing St. Tudno's church, the gardens and the Victorian pier.
How to get there:
Llandudno is a lovely Victorian seaside town in North Wales, nestling between Great Ormes Head and Little Ormes Head. Llandudno is about 20 miles east of Anglesey near to Colwyn Bay. From junction 19 of the A55 take the A470 north which brings you into Llandudno, about 3 miles away. Locate Great Ormes Head on detailed map
here.
Amenities: A number of tea shops and restaurants in the town.
Access: Unknown.
Unusual features or other information: Llandudno is renowned for its Victorian pier and the tramway (built in 1902) which takes visitors up to the summit of Great Ormes Head. There is also a cable car, which is an alternative means of getting to the summit, and a 300m dry ski slope and toboggan run - both great ways to get down. Part way up the zig-zag road from Marine Drive to St. Tudno's church are the old rectory tea gardens which are well worth a visit.
