It’s no mean feat listing all the things there are to do in Wales’ largest seaside resort. Just where do we begin? Fancy stretching your legs on the longest pier in Wales? A ride on Britain’s only cable hauled tramway? How about a picnic on an award-winning beach? You can check out the views from Britain’s longest passenger cable car. Or head for the slopes and try sno-tubing. Just make sure you leave time for mooching ‘round the shops, exploring the Bronze Age copper mine and a night at the theatre.

Do n t f o rget While you’re here, visit Llandudno’s Tourist Information Centre on Mostyn Street. The friendly staff can help you with things like booking tickets and planning itineraries. And, if you haven’t already found somewhere to stay, they can help you choose from our great range of accommodation, too. Just remember, the longer you stay, the more time you’ll have to enjoy Llandudno! www.visitllandudno.org.uk 1 donkey rides punch & Judy Family days out... Call us old fashioned Buckets and spades. Sand between your toes. Trying to decipher the words in a stick of rock. The promise of ice cream before bed. What’s not to love about Llandudno? Our range of attractions is a big hit with families, too. Take a boat trip around the Great Orme, see the sights from an open top bus, get to know the animals at Bodafon Farm, or for a spot of nostalgia, take a ride on the Great Orme Tramway which celebrated its 110th birthday in 2012. 2 www.visitllandudno.org.uk Llandudno Speedboat Trips Llandudno Land Train North Shore and Promenade Llandudno Land Train There’s never a dull moment at the North Shore!

Map Ref:C5 North Shore, Llandudno 01492 877458 Few modes of transport raise more smiles, from both passengers and passers-by, than the Llandudno Land Train. The urge to wave to the crowds, as the multi-coloured engine ‘chuffs’ its way between the North and West Shore, is too much to resist. And who would want to? Professor Codman’s Punch and Judy Map Ref:C5 01492 879523 The Codman family has been performing this firm seaside favourite for over 150 years, and they're still going strong today.
