It was built around 1860 and uses a series a mirrors to create panoramic views of the town below and surrounding scenery. It isn't always open, it's seasonal and weather permitting, and there is a small charge for entry when it is. However even it isn't open the views are spectacular enough with just the naked eye. If you look straight ahead you'll see the town of Llandudno spread out below you, look left and you'll see the North Shore and out to sea and look right and you'll look out over the West Shore and Conwy Estuary and down towards the foothills of Snowdonia. You'll need to be fairly active to reach the Obscura which is located close to the cable car station. Just head up through the Happy Valley and veer left at the top. A bit of effort but on a bright sunny day it's well worth the effort.

The Promenade stretches along the beach from the Pier to the Paddling pool in the east. Almost 1.5 miles in length. Most visitors flock around the Pier area. The further east you walk, the less people you will see. And it's a real nice thing to do, walking the Promenade. Even busy, the Pier is a good starting point. Grab some snacks, some ice cream and get on your way. There's countless benches along the Promenade - all with seaviews :) So it's a perfect spot to enjoy some snacks or a small picnic. The Promenade is very wide, so it doesn't feel crowded. Bikes, dog walkers...there's space for everybody. There is a carpark near the pier, but always full. Some spots along the Promenade, but they're hard to find. We parked just a block away from the Promenade at the Venue Cymru carpark and were really happy with it. Plenty of empty spots.

We parked the car a bit further away at the Venue Cymru carpark with lots of empty spaces. The Promenade starts/ends here and makes it also the busiest section. There are plenty of souvenir shops along the water leading to the pier. Some fair rides, a ferris wheel, shops with beach gear and gadgets, a book/CD shop, food stalls offering sweets, oysters, pies and more. There's really something for everybody. And some suprisingly good deals and food to find! The pies were really good and we also enjoyed a Kelly's Ice Cream on the pier - a bit pricey, but tasty. The pier itself was less busy than expected and an enjoyable walk with wonderful views of course. Most visitors flock around the end of the Pier with the several food options. A public toilet is located there as well. We really had a great time in town, and the pier is a busy place, but for good reason!

Llandudno has for some time attempted to cash in on it's slightly dubious Alice In Wonderland…read moreconnections. Alice Liddell, the inspiration for the character of Alice was known to holiday with her family at a house called Penmorfa on the West Shore. The house later became the Gogarth Abbey hotel. Charles Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll, is rumoured to have visited Penmorfa although the evidence appears to suggest he didn't. The Alice links are now beginning to fade. The Gogarth Abbey was briefly renamed the Penmorfa but has since been demolished. The Alice museum in Trinity Square closed down when the owner retired and couldn't find anyone willing to take it on as a going concern. So if you're an Alice fan all that's left to see is the statue of the White Rabbit. And how disappointed will you be if you go out of your way to find it. The first thing you'll notice is how small it is. The rabbit is about the size of a real-life rabbit. As the statue has been the target of vandals in the past it's now protected by a steel cage and surrounded by a "moat". The cage obstructs your view and moat prevents you from getting a close up look (unless you've planned ahead and brought wellies). If you really want a look the statue is located just past the boating lake at the West Shore but it really needs to be relocated to a more appropriate location. Preferably one where you can get close enough to actually see it and where it can safely be locked away at night.

The Great Orme mines are the Worlds Largest Bronze Age Copper Mines. This tourist attraction is a…read moreself guided tour through the maze of tunnels and carverns that were created over 3000 years ago. The mines were discovered fairly recently, late 80's if I remeber correctly. In my opinion the Mines are one of those places that you'll visit once and never go back to - whilst the tour is both interesting and Educational it lacks excitement and for me it didnt have the WOW factor. For example having been to a similiar attraction the Chedder Gorge in Somerset (which was excellent) it didnt live up to my expectations - the lighting in the Carverns were a little dull and the lack of a Guide meant that you were just wandering aimlessley around the exhibits without really understanding why they were there. On a more positive note I think that continuous work is being carried out to develop the mines so it would be nice if they could spend a bit more money on the attraction to make it more impressive. There is also a Shop, visitor centre and a small cafe, which serves nice Cakes and Coffees. The Mines have ample Parking and the centre is open daily between the months of March and November. The Adult price is £6 - Children are £4 - but they do offer discounts for group bookings.

Walking through tunnels mined out over 3,500 years ago gives visitors a feel for the harsh conditions our prehistoric ancestors faced in their search for copper.

Regarded by many as the best preserved Elizabethan town house in the UK, this historic gem is well…read moreworth a visit. It contains a wealth of decorative plasterwork and woodwork. History The house was built by Robert Wynn, a younger son of John Wynn of Gwydir Castle. He had served with the British Ambassador in Bruges, and travelled around the Continent. When he retired to Conwy, aged 50, he built himself a town house incorporating the latest features and styles, reflecting his prestige. It was built 1576-1585. After his death, a dispute over his inheritance meant the house was eventually split into a lodging house, and also functioned as a school, and then the headquarters of the local antiquarian society, before being taken over and restored by Cadw (Welsh Historic Monuments). The house This large building occupies a whole block of Conwy's streets. The main frontage consists of an elaborate gatehouse, courtyard and then the main house, which has its own courtyard and garden. The exterior has been plastered and limewashed, as it would have been originally. Inside, the rooms are a mixture of the 'working' rooms of the house kitchen, storage rooms, servants' quarters and so on, and the grander rooms intended for Wynn and his family. These have impressive fireplace mantels and panelling, and particularly large expanses of decorative plasterwork. In many places this is highly coloured, and includes decorative friezes of coats of arms, Tudor roses and other heraldic devices (and above all, Wynn's initials, RW, which appear everywhere). Another recurring motif is that of naked caryatids, carrying bowls of strawberries on their heads. They wear loincloths of leaves, and cover one breast, leaving the other bare. The plasterwork images are often touchingly naive and primitive, as local plasterers tried their best to reproduce unfamiliar images copied from pattern books. The house also has some impressive furnishings, although these have been sourced separately and are not original. In the attic, one room is furnished as it would have been in the early 19th century, as the home of a lodger, a washer-woman. Practicalities There is a guided audio tour available, which is well worth using, although the Tudor jingle which precedes each section may get irritating after a while. There are also static presentations on aspects of Tudor and later life. Access for those with restricted mobility is limited, due to the presence of stairs and uneven floors. There is also a shop at the entrance selling the usual cards, books and gift items.

On the plus side it hasn't yet been vandalised and when I last looked was actually telling the correct time!
