This hub will give you information about the area, where to go, what to see, the big towns in the area and useful websites in and around North Wales.
Llandudno
Llandudno is one of the premier seaside resorts in North Wales. Settlers have been living in North Wales since biblical times, but the area grew expansively in the mid 1800's, when - thanks to the railway that passed nearby on the route to Holyhead - the area became one of the premier Victorian tourist resorts.
Llandudno grew bigger and bigger, until the near death of the UK Tourism Industry meant that the town struggled in the late 1970's and 1980's. However, a growth of a new breed of traveller keen to learn about the area has seen an upturn in the town fortunes. This is in no small part helped with the victorian cultural hub in the town, as well as a large investment from the local authroities, has meant that this town is popular with locals and tourists alike.
