Llandudno in Conwy, Wales is a classic Victorian seaside resort on the North Wales coast, sited at the mouth of the River Conwy between the Great Orme and Little Orme. The dramatic limestone headland of the Great Orme contains ancient Bronze Age copper mines, a cable car and tramway, and provides cliff-top walks and birdlife, while the town itself still shows its 19th-century grid, long promenade and elegant hotels and pier.

Tourism is the backbone of the local economy, with family attractions, theatres, independent shops and a year of events such as the Victorian-themed festivals attracting day-trippers and longer-stay visitors; nearby Conwy with its medieval castle sits a short drive away. Locals combine a strong seasonal visitor economy with a settled community life focused on walking, wildlife watching and coastal leisure.
