Not a lot to add here, a typical seaside scene that you might expect anywhere in England. But this is Wales. Red brick jostles with white stucco, pastel coloured render and Victorian and Edwardian spires etc. Just lovely. Nothing is much older than the mid nineteenth century when the Hon. E.M.L. Mostyn, M.P. planned and sold off plots on which to build the town. With the railway and pier not only came the raw materials to build the town, but the residents and tourists alike to people it. What really puts Llandudno ahead of its rivals, however, is The Great Orme being its backdrop. Here you have miles of glorious open hill and cliffs, terraced walks and wildlife, not forgetting the herd of feral goats that roam the headland (and down into the town given the opportunity)!
