Experience the Victorian character and ambiance of Llandudno, one of the largest seaside resorts in Wales. This town, which has been nicknamed “The Queen of the Welsh Resorts” is located within the Conwy municipal district and is on the North Wales Coast Rail Line. Stroll along the golden sandy beach overshadowed by the 679-foot high Great Ormes Head. On the promenade you will find many shops, restaurants and cafes.
