10 Nature & Parks in Llandudno That You Shouldn't Miss

May 11, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

Walk or take the tram to the summit of the Great Orme—you’ll be rewarded with a splendid view of Llandudno, a popular seaside resort in Wales. (Just take a jacket. It can be chilly up there.) On your way up, stop at the Great Orme Copper Mine for a fascinating look at how copper was mined 3,000 years ago.

Happy Valley Gardens

Reviewed By AbsoluteNomad - West Midlands, United Kingdom

Beautiful Gardens on the Great Orme, overseeing Llandudno bay, with great views of the Pier, Promenade, and Little Orme. There are loads of picturesque sightlines within the Gardens that are great for photos, so much so you'll have to keep stopping in your tracks to make sure you capture the moment. The Garden has somewhat of a Alice in Wonderland theme, with wooden sculptures and a band stand being themed off characters from the story. This has been done as a reference to how Alice's real life inspiration, Alice Liddell used to go on holidays to Llandudno as a child. Good for picnics, as unlike the Promenade there aren't any seagulls trying to the steal your food, and there is also a small cafe if you didn't bring along any food. There are plenty of benches spread out across the gardens, if you want to take a rest from walking or you just want to soak in the views. Alternatively, you could also use the lawn to sit down and admire the view or have a look at it's landmarks including the aforementioned band stand, stone circle, and Queen Victoria bust. Nearby is a Cable Car Ride, which for the brave traveller, rewards them with even greater views of the Orme, though it is a bit pricey at £11 per person for a return ticket. Overall the place is a must visit when coming to Llandudno, as it's only a short walk from the promenade, it's views are outstanding, and most importantly it's free.

Little Orme

Reviewed By malgibbs1 - Bath, United Kingdom

Lovely walk around and up Little Orme Head. It is a strenuous walk with some steep inclines if walking from Llandudno side (main road opposite Premier Inn) to Angel Bay and then back via the summit(s) up onto the top. Well worth it for lovely views of seals in Angel Bay, not yet on the beach in early September, and all the panoramic views from the cliffs and summits. Quite busy in lovely weather with much easier access from Rhos side. Unfortunately selfish and thoughtless person using drone caused unnecessary noise and disturbance, let’s hope the wretched things are banned from peaceful and sensitive wildlife areas.

The Owls Trust

The best collection of owls on display to the public in the whole of Wales.

Reviewed By paintedbird79 - Mold, United Kingdom

This lovely place genuinely brought warmth to a cold, winter's day. My wife drove us here from Mold and was relatively easy to find. We had a warm welcome from Bill (and Colin the dog) and were soon in the hands of one of the more than capable and very knowledgeable and pleasant volunteers (Jo) for a proper tour of the aviaries. What a wonderful experience. One that will last a lifetime - as will my love of owls. But it isn't just owls (of which there are many different varieties!) There are other birds of prey to see and a couple of other surprises, besides. Although it might seem obvious - if you do go; please don't rattle the cages or be too noisy around the poor creatures - they are largely nocturnal and you need to respect that. Please.

Haulfre Gardens

Reviewed By lovetrav_9 - Old Colwyn, United Kingdom

This is a relaxing enjoyable walk through lovely peaceful gardens with a tearoom manned by friendly and helpful staff en route serving great fresh snacks and coffee etc. The initial walk from the North Shore area of Llandudno is a little steep, but it really is worth the effort. For anyone wishing a longer walk, you can continue through a gate at the end of the higher part of the gardens along a path which comes out in the West Shore area and there are commemorative seats to take a rest on along the way with superb commanding views of the town and beyond. A haven of tranquillity to be enjoyed for free.
