A 300 meter, dry Ski Slope and Toboggan Run is situated in Happy Valley since 1986. 'Ski Llandudno' is not only popular with amateur enthusiasts but is of national importance to the sport, as the Artificial Ski Championships are held here each year.
It would be virtually impossible to visit all the castles in Wales so choices must be made. Everyone told me I should visit Caerbarfon but I chose Harlech for personal reasons. As a teenager I sang in our schools Boy’s Glee Club and one of my favorite memories was the rousing song Men of Harlech. This is one of the better known songs of Wales and is frequently mistaken for the national anthem. (The national anthem is actually Land of My Fathers. So we visited this magnificent castle which appears to have been planted and rooted in the rocky shore overlooking the Irish Sea.
As you wander through this magnificent old fortress the rooms and spaces are well marked and there are several museum rooms with lots of signs giving you the history of the Castle and its role in the struggles of England and Wales. There is even a great little model of the Castle as it originally appeared. Of course the two main towers now feature the Union Jack on one and the beautiful Red Dragon Flag of Wales on the other.
The Castle opens daily from 9:00 or 9:30 to 16:00 or 17:00 depending on the season with shorter hours Sundays November-March.
Admission is Adults £3.60, Reduced rate £3.20.
Family Ticket:- £10.40 - admits 2 adults and up to 3 children under 16 years.
These elegant goats’ ancestors are believed to come from the North India or Pakistan (depending on which side of the line you live) mountains.
With a bit of luck you should be able to see these peculiars goats in the Great Orme pastures.
The goats are used to the people but will move if you try to get too close.
All goats are very proud of their long ‘goaties’ and enormous pair of curved horns which nearly touch the back of their necks.
I had passed through Northern Wales on my way to Ireland once and I loved the combination of sea and mountains so when the chance came to go again, I jumped at it and found myself in Llandudno. Not the dramatic castles of Carnaevon and Conwy but instead a classic seaside resort. Nevertheless, I found a nice town with the Snowdonian mountains as a backdrop and plenty to keep me occupied.
