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.

Things To Do

  • Climb the Great Orme, or if you're not feeling particularly energetic, take the fabulous Great Orme Tramway.
  • Take a walk along Llandudno Pier.
  • Visit the Alice in Wonderland Museum.

Literally 5 miles down the road from Llandudno, Colwyn Bay may not be the tourist hub that Llandudno is, but it has plenty of beauty in it's own right. The town has a number of attractions such as The Welsh Mountain Zoo in the Colwyn Heights region of the town and Victoria Pier, which is positioned right in the centre of the towns glorious seafront.

Colwyn Bay is home to one of Wales' longest established and successful football clubs, Colwyn Bay Football Club, who - despite being Welsh - they play in the English League.
