Llandudno Pier
700 metres of Grade II* Victorian ironwork, the longest pier in Wales, and twice voted Pier of the Year — free to walk on, and free to sit on.

Bodnant Garden
Eighty acres above the Conwy valley — the Laburnum Arch, five Italianate terraces and a wooded dell, with Snowdonia as the backdrop.
Great Orme Country Park
A limestone headland of 300 hectares above Llandudno — wild Kashmiri goats, choughs, rare orchids and paths in every direction.

The National Zoo of Wales, on a hillside above Colwyn Bay — good animals, great views, a stiff climb, and a layout people find confusing.
Great Orme Tramway
A cable-hauled street tramway of 1902 climbing to the summit of the Great Orme — one of only three of its kind left in the world.

Britain's longest passenger cable car — 1.6 kilometres from Happy Valley to the top of the Great Orme, running since 1969, in open four-seat cabins.

Great Orme Mines
Bronze Age copper workings on the headland above Llandudno — 3,500 years old, five miles of passages, and the largest prehistoric mine yet found…
