Llandudno

Day Trips in Manchester

"Tick another country off your bucket list — no passport required. Spend the day in Wales at one of the most handsome and well-preserved seaside towns on the west coast, which you can reach in an hour and a half by car or via one of several trains departing Manchester every day.Llandudno’s charm lies in the miles of pebbly beach, immaculate Victorian hotel facades, ornate pier, and stunning view from the top of the Great Orme, a hill overlooking the town and the Irish Sea. You could easily spend a day lost in the amusement arcades and on the pier, but don’t miss the Orme. You can either make a very steep hill ascent on foot or take the authentically historical Great Orme Tramway to the summit.You’ll be hungry from all that walking, or sitting in a tram, so order a traditional round of fish and chips from the excellent Fish Tram Chips at the foot of the Orme. If you’d rather have something that doesn’t come out of a paper wrapper, then the popular Cottage Loaf pub offers a full menu along with open fires, atmospheric surroundings, and an outdoor seating area." - MATADOR_NETWORK
