The popular seaside resort of Llandudno is the perfect base for a relaxing stay with time at leisure or to explore the surrounding area. Choose from our two carefully selected hotels.
Penderyn Distillery tour & tasting, Llandudno
Take a tour and tasting and learn about the founding of this famous and award-winning
brand and what makes the different whiskies taste as they do.
Ride to the top of the Great Orme
Enjoy a ride on a renovated Victorian tram to the top of the Great Orme for wonderful views back to Llandudno, across Anglesey and Eryri (Snowdonia). Climbing to 1,500m, there’s a stop at the Halfway Station to visit the exhibition telling all about this funicular.
Isle of Anglesey
Nearby Anglesey has much to enjoy and one of North Wales’s best kept secrets is Plas Cadnant with its beautifully restored gardens. It’s close enough to Beaumaris with its medieval castle, to do both in a morning. From here it is easy to take a boat cruise to Puffin Island. Also, a trip to Halen Môn (Anglesey Sea Salt) makes an interesting visit.
Little Trains of North Wales
There’s a great choice of railways both heritage and narrow-gauge, we have selected a few to consider.
A ride on the Snowdon Mountain Railway will take you to “the rooftop of Wales” and, weather permitting, spectacular views. Llanberis Lake Railway is a narrow-gauge railway which follows the shores of the lake. Ffestiniog Railway has dramatic views of mountains, lakes and waterfalls around every corner. Rheilffordd Llyn Tegid Ltd (Bala Lake Railway) is a narrow-gauge railway that runs along the southern shoreline of the largest natural lake in Wales. Llangollen Railway begins beside the Dee River Bridge in the town centre and continues for 10 miles upstream to Carrog station.
Castles
Caernarfon Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a stunning example of architecture from the Middle Ages. It stands regally on the banks of the River Seiont. Conwy Castle was built by Edward l. It is considered one of the most magnificent fortresses in Europe. Picture-perfect Chirk Castle reveals 400 years of changing tastes and fashions in its lavishly furnished rooms.
Llangollen Horse Drawn Canal Trip
Take a step back in time and experience a 2-hour horse-drawn canal boat cruise, admiring the Chain Bridge across the River Dee and the manmade Horseshoe Falls.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Enjoy a 2-hour motorised canal boat trip along the Llangollen Canal. The trip includes crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, known as the ‘Stream in the Sky’.
Portmeirion
This iconic Italianate architecture was designed by Welsh architect Sir Clough Williams- Ellis in the early 20th century and makes for an intriguing visit. The colourful collection of buildings is fringed with wondrous ornamental gardens.
Chester
Why not spend a day in the historic city of Chester with the most complete city walls and largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1,000 year old cathedral.
Llandudno Lifeboat station
Dating back to 1861, the Llandudno Lifeboat Station has a fascinating history. These days the state-of-the-art lifeboat is housed in the recently refurbished boathouse.
