Llandudno.
This is one of Britain's classic Victorian seaside resorts complete with a 2,295 foot pier, completed in 1875, all
preserved just as it was in Victorian times.
The name Llandudno comes from the Welsh for 'Parish of St. Tudno', thought to be a 6th century monk, and the 12th century
Church of St Tudno is to be found on the Great Orme's Head.

The Pier, Llandudno.
This Victorian Pier, which starts just to the right of the large white building by the sea and extends out into the sea,
is in an excellent state of preservation and has the appearance of being very well cared for.
The greenery at the back is part of the Happy Valley Gardens.

The Great Orme's Head, Llandudno.
The Great Orme's Head is a large Carboniferous Limestone headland, about 2 miles long, 1 mile wide and about 680 feet
high, which juts out into the sea from Llandudno.
There is a cable driven tramway, just over 100 years old, which takes passengers up the very steep hill to the top of
the Great Orme.
