This recently built Lifeboat Station is situated on the promenade towards the Little Orme and really is impressive. Unfortunately we were unable to gain access in order to see the lifeboat and the equipment properly; we shall have to return on a Sunday. The station has been very tastefully built and looking through the windows, the lifeboat and equipment look impressive. Having lived right by the sea in another area of the country that had a lifeboat, I know and appreciate what a brilliant job the lifeboat crews do to save lives at sea, often at great risk to themselves, so they deserve the best equipment.

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.

This little church was reccomend by a friend and am I so glad I did visit. We were just lucky enough to be welcomed between weddings. Two lovely ladies in the church that let us in while clearing up. Lovely little church steeped in history. We were given a little leaflet with a brief history. A little gift shop inside. Parking is on the road, with breathtaking views. The grave yard is fantastic. A few War graves too. There is a little history trail for the kids I even managed to get a carrier bag full of pinecones for my parrot (thank you). Please pop in if you are around the Orme, well worth a look.

A fine Victorian church in the centre of town, with beautiful stained glass windows and carvings. Open most days from about 8.30 am till about 5.00 pm.
Reviewed By EESW1 - Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
This is a BIG church - both outside and in! In fact it is almost too big to photograph. It was built to cater for the rapid growth in holiday visitors in the later half of the C19th. The inside is impressive with polished marble pillars separating nave and side aisles and a wood roof. The chancel was extended in 1932 and has a 'boat shaped' roof and has a lovely carved reredos behind the high altar. The chapel to the left of the chancel is the memorial chapel to the 219 men of the town who lost their lives in the First World war and their names are recorded on plaques on the wall. Standards of the Welsh Regiments and ex servicemen’s associations hang from the roof. The C19th stained glass floods the church with colour. The Mary and Martha window in the south aisle is particularly attractive. Don't miss the Carved Angel at the back of the north aisle. From a distance I didn't like it but it does need to be seen close to. The wings and body are carved with 31 small scenes from teh life of Jesus and are delightful.
