Llandudno (Wales)

Advantages: plenty to do in Summer
Disadvantages: less to do in Spring or Autumn

...doing a March trip to Llandudno and my mother decided to book this particular holiday for her, my father, and myself. Although I have visited Llandudno many times, they have usually been day trips from home (Chesterfield) or from other North Wales destinations that we have stayed at, so staying in Llandudno would be a great change. I read several Ciao reviews on the topic so that I knew what was available in March - not a lot, most things open from ...
...plenty of time to explore Llandudno itself on the first evening and all day Thursday. We also had time after our excursions. ATTRACTIONS Our hotel (The Four Oaks) was right on the promenade and just a short walk from both the town centre and the North Wales Theatre (Theatr Gogledd Cymru). About 10-15 minutes walk away from our hotel was the pier, which zigzags out from under the Great Orme and has cafes and amusement arcades. My father and I walked ... Read review

...a bit about the place. Llandudno is situated in the north of Wales. Llandudno is Wales's largest resort, situated between the Great and Little Ormes with The North Shore and the quiet, sand dunned West Shore. It is a Victorian town and still has many of its old Victorian elegance even though it now has many modern attractions. They have a Victorian weekend every year around the end of May, where throughout the whole town everything is Victorian. ...
...active from reaching the summit. Llandudno was fast becoming a very popular tourist resort, so it wasn't long before local businessmen latched on to the idea of a cable tramway. A little over 15 months after construction work started at the bottom of the Orme, the line was declared safe by the Board of Trade. On 31st July 1902 the first car moved off from Victoria Station, to the sound of the town band playing "God save the King". Suddenly, Llandudno's ... Read review

Disadvantages: Very expensive, Very wet and windy, Need loads of money

...only spent one day in Llandudno and if we'd have known what it was like when we stayed there then we would have stayed there for the remainder of our holiday. We stayed on Chapel Street in a really nice, clean guest house called Hafan Y Mor Guest House. The room was spotless clean as was the rest of the guest house. The only comment I have to make was that the walls were paper thin and you could hear everything. The people were really friendly ...
...everything you could want in Llandudno including, pubs, shops, cafe's, Churches, guest houses, banks and more. The only comment I have to make is what I said in my previous review the majority of the people were cold and unwelcoming. Even in the cafes many of the waitresses seemed pushed to serve us. Llandudno was the positive part of our holiday. Though the weather was wet we could stand it because we were in and out of the shops constantly. My ... Read review

Advantages: Plenty To See And Do, Nice Sandy Beach
Disadvantages: Largely Closed During Winter

Llandudno has always been one of my most favourite parts of North Wales. When I was a young Child my Parents had a Camper Van and we would spend many weekends in this area. As a Seaside Resort I always found that Llandudno had much more character to it than many of the other traditional Seaside towns that I was familiar with, including the nearby resort of Rhyl. When I was recently asked by a group of friends if I fancied a daytrip to Llandudno ...
...The town of Llandudno has a long and rich history. It was named after St Tudno, a 6th century Saint that introduced Christianity to this area. The modern town has plenty of Shops and seems to be a busy, thriving place. There are a few amusement arcades along the front but these have been kept to a minimum. The main shops are to be found on Mostyn Street, which runs inland but parallel to the font. There is also a new, modern Shopping Centre that ... Read review
