The north coast of Wales is distinguished by two utterly different aspects. Firstly, it has a concentration of mighty castles built by Edward I. Secondly, it is lined for much of its length with rather gaudy seaside resorts.
The lovely resort of Llandudno stands out by comparison. Its 2-mile promenade around a gently curving bay has lost little of its Victorian splendor, with its pier and Punch and Judy puppet shows on the sand.
The Beach * West Shore * Mostyn Street * Donkeys
Take a cable car or the funicular railway up the Great Orme, the headland which seperates the town's two beaches, for a spectacular view. On the west shore stands the White Rabbit Memorial, commemorating Lewis Carroll's walks along the seafront with Alice Liddell, the inspiration for his famous story, Alice in Wonderland.
