antistar Says: Another way up the Great Orme is the Cable Car. This one requires you are made of slightly sterner stuff than the test offered by the tramway. It's the longest cable car system in Britain, and at its highest point reaches over a hundred feet above the ground. The real thrill...
antistar Says: What would a trip to the seaside be without a stroll along the promenade? You'll be joined by throngs of similar minded tourists, and be observed by the cold, ruthless eyes of a thousand hungry seagulls. They wait for any opportunity to snatch badly needed calories from your...
beannie Says: The great orme in llandudno, you can walk up, catch a tram or drive, its so lovely up there and the views are fantastic, there are mines you can go in, cafes, theres a big park at the top for the kids and on the other side there is a ski slope and tobogin and a log cabin to...
antistar Says: If you've been to Wetherspoons before, you'll know what to expect, but this Whetherspoons is a little bit different. They've built it into the cavernous interior of the old cinema. And it's as dank and gloomy inside as you might expect from somewhere not designed to let in...
rexvaughan Says: I normally have an aversion to any restaurant that is part of a chain but I have been in several in the UK that is making me think they are different from the US. Our stay in Llandudno took us to the Fat Cat Cafe Bar. We enjoyed a nice light dinner out front virtually on the...
davesut Says: Both places worth a visit, Fortes has been a British institution for many years and recently refurbished restaurant adds to the good experience. Some of the best ice cream that I have ever tasted however is Cadwaliders which has a few outlets in North Wales but as you can...
lomi Says: The Gresham looked attractive with tables and chairs laid out on the pavement of an early evening. It was 6.30 pm so I ordered a glass of wine and asked about the food service. The menu is typical pub food, nothing elaborate, and inexpensive. I was surprised to learn that...
antistar Says: A trip to the seaside isn't the same without a plate of fish and chips, and if you want to eat the best, Fish Tram Chips is famous in the town and beyond for its quality. You can either eat in at the small sit down cafe, or buy from the traditional take-away next door. Eat...
antistar Says: The Fat Cafe started just down the road in Bangor, and it was such a success they turned it into a small franchise that has finally broken out of North Wales. It's a good job they did: quality like this should be spread around. The service was very friendly and professional,...
antistar Says: This was a real surprise in Llandudno - a delicate little bistro, with cosy snugs and friendly owners. The menu was as small as the floor space, but very inventive. Both of our dishes were sensational, and the desert matched it for quality. And with the special prices the...
princessfani Says: After going on a hen party bar crawl around Llandudno and feeling quite disappointed with the nightlife... we stumbled into Broadway Boulevard.. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to be there, but within 15 minutes the DJ was playingf my favourite song, I had a drink which...
lomi Says: High above Llandudno's beaches the Horseshoe Bats, Toads and Badgers steal from the shadows and damp caves. Blinking from their slumber Little Owl and Tawney Owl flash open their eyes alert to the noise of a shrew dashing after black beetles. By the miners old cottages the...
antistar Says: Llandudno is at the end of its own special line. Most trains drop passengers off at Llandudno Junction a few kilometers south of the town. There are trains running several times an hour between the two stations, so you won't have to wait long. There are also a few direct...
antistar Says: Llandudno has a pretty good network of buses that will take you to most of the interesting parts of North Wales. But they aren't that regular, and they can be quite slow. If I was to do this trip again I'd rent a car. But if you must use a bus, you can get by. You'll just...
sezy Says: the only dangers i can think of are1, the traffic but that goes for most places2, if on the beach's make sure you know when the tide times as if you go walking you may get traped on the rock by the little orme 3, which goes for the westshore as well you can get a tide time...
antistar Says: God damn these animals were so bad I had to make a complaint to the local council - not something I've ever done before. You'll be absolutely fine if you don't have any food - this isn't The Birds or anything. But if you have some food they will track you through the...
antistar Says: A short bus ride from Llandudno, and even walkable if you want to make it a slow day trip, is the stunningly preserved castle of Conwy. Built as a walled settlement for the exlusive use of the English, it gave a taste of what was to come for the Welsh in this part of the...
lomi Says: I love these old traditional fairs and its great to see this one still taking place in Conwy. It is a short 10 minute drive from Llandudno.On 26th March every year this 700 year old charter fair takes place in the main streets, free entry.Started by Edward 1st, it is held in...
lomi Says: North Wales Golf Course is on the west shore at Llandudno. Visitors are welcome.It is Championship standard with the wonderful scenery of the North Wales coast from The Snowdonia mountains, and the island of Anglesey to Puffin Island.The Clubhouse offers cooked food or bar...
antistar Says: I'm not sure if anyone in Llandudno speaks Welsh - I certainly didn't hear a Welsh accent, let alone a word of the language. But as this is Wales - everything must be dual language even if nobody understands it. But the locals have fun with it all the same, as can be seen in...
