From the beautiful pier to the majestic Great Orme, there's something for everyone in Llandudno. Take a ride on the cable car or tram up the Orme to visit the ancient mines and learn about the prehistoric settlement that once called the Great Orme home. Keep an eye out for the wild Kashmiri goats, descended from a gift to Lord Mostyn by Queen Victoria herself.
Legend of Llandudno's Bay
Llandudno is said to be protected by the Alligator and the Elephant, with the Great Orme resembling a large and powerful predator that watches over the sea, waiting to strike. According to legend, the Great Orme scared away invading Vikings centuries ago, and it is said that the Alligator and Elephant still protect Llandudno's Bay from attacks from the sea. Take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the beautiful views of Llandudno Bay and the surrounding area, including the Little Orme, which resembles an elephant drinking water from the sea.
