Llandudno, town, Conwy, north Wales. Llandudno is a popular seaside resort on the Irish Sea, overlooking Llandudno Bay. The beach, pier, and hotel-lined promenade are the centre of Llandudno’s attractions. Adjacent to the town is the clifftop and recreation area of Great Orme Head, accessible by cable car, tram, or road. The remains of ancient copper mines lie within the hill.

The coast around Great Orme Head has been designated the Great Orme Heritage Coast. Prehistoric and Roman artefacts have been recovered there. It was in Llandudno that Lewis Carroll told young Alice Liddell the stories that eventually became Alice in Wonderland. The town developed from a fishing village in the 19th century. Population 14,576 (1991).
