Llandudno is Wales largest resort with attractions uniquely situated between the Great and Little Ormes with two wonderful beaches, the award winning North Shore and the quiet, sand duned West Shore.

Llandudno has kept its Victorian and Edwardian elegance and splendour, despite its modern attractions. Perhaps most notably, Llandudno was the regular holiday destination of Alice Liddells family, the same Alice Liddell who inspired Lewis Carrolls title character of the novel Alice in Wonderland. It is thought that this wonderful resort and its majestic surroundings were inspiration for the extraordinary visuals of the story.
