Whether it's a nice place to visit? Things to do on freezing days - nice walks? Nice pubs around?mwgdrwg said:
Not too sure tbh - just want to find out what the place is like really.
Been offered a self-catering cottage to run away to for a week at christmas... not sure if it's a bit close to all my family in Birkenhead though - looks it on the map

Be a Pisces. Jam.
I don't know about pubs over there, haven't been drinking there in donkey's years.
If you're looking for somewhere with nice walks then you are in the right place. You have the entire North Wales coast, and Snowndonia, on your doorstep.
There's lots of old people in Llandudno though...that's not to say it's not a nice place. But it's not the liveliest.

Great Orme is, er, great... tram up to the top is on a ridiculous gradient. Wild goats up on the top. The prom is lovely, if you don't mind a blue-rinse overdose.... great architecture.
Also North Wales Theatre has some good stuff on, although Xmas will probably be panto time.
Llandudno is still owned in large part by the local landed gentry (aka Mostyn Estates) and hasn't, as a consequence, become one of those anonymous plastic town centres. Thank heavens for feudalism, eh?
PS Llantwit - does that joke involve a tattoo and Ludo...

so you say it clandudno?
no, we say it llandudno, but we might let you off with clandudno.
erm... never did go in the end, but still thinking about it for next year
Is it quite flat or hilly? Not got a car, so thinking of taking the bikes and wondered if it'd be easy getting about?
Ranges from a bit hilly, to very very hilly indeed.
Lovely place I thought. Real old school victorian sea side resort that has somehow resisted tack & tat.
(Avoid being near the drinking barn boozers though, like the whetherspoons, at chucking out time though. A bit leary.)
Lovely place.
Rollem and I went when she was up the duff (first time). If you want to relax it's great.
The only moment of stress I had was being attacked by a seagul. A wing in the face was quite funny tbh.
The great orme is worth seeing. There's a tram that goes up there or the cable cars (which will never be running due to the weather).
It's a nice town imo. Think Bournmouth without the international students and add 10 years to the average age.
Good old fashioned pier and sea side.

my wife's from south London, and she can manage it - so its not beyond the wit of 'your people'
(I am just kidding you BB, Llandudno is nice, the fact that its fully of older people is a plus in my book - and Snowdonia is great)
