Restaurants & cafés
Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias
A bright seafront bistro from Welsh chef Bryn Williams, perched on the watersports centre at Colwyn Bay with the tide a few steps away. It has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for years on the strength of local seafood cooked simply and priced fairly.
The Seahorse Restaurant & Bistro
A two-floor seafood specialist tucked off the main streets, with an intimate cellar bistro below and a restaurant above. The kitchen leans on Great Orme lobster and Conwy and Menai mussels, and the shared seafood platter is what most tables come for.
Trails & outdoors
Llandudno Promenade
The flat, two-mile sweep of Victorian promenade curving along the North Shore between the pier and the foot of the Orme. It is the easy, accessible town walk, pram- and wheelchair-friendly, with benches the whole way and the bay on one side.
West Shore Beach
A short, level stroll along the quieter estuary-facing beach on the far side of the Orme, looking across to Anglesey and Snowdonia. Easy underfoot, with a playground and cafe at the promenade end, and far fewer people than the North Shore.
Things to do
Llandudno Cable Car
Britain's longest passenger cable car, gliding a mile from Happy Valley Gardens up to the Great Orme summit. The slow swing over the headland gives a different angle on the bay and pier than the tramway, with the cabins floating above the cliffs.
Venue Cymru
Llandudno's main theatre and conference complex on the promenade, a 1,500-seat receiving house programming West End tours, comedy, opera and the big Christmas pantomime. It is the town's go-to for a proper night out indoors.
Landmarks & sights
Great Orme
The limestone headland that looms over the whole resort, grazed by feral Kashmiri goats and topped by a country park with sea views in every direction. On a clear day you can pick out Anglesey, the Isle of Man and the Lake District from the summit.
Great Orme Tramway
Britain's only cable-hauled tramway that still runs on public roads, hauling open-sided Victorian cars up the headland since 1902. The trip changes cars at the Halfway Station, where the original winding gear is on show.
