NORTH WALES is renowned for its culture, natural history and vast opportunity for outdoor activities. It is a region of contrasts - the wild and rugged mountain splendour of the Snowdonia National Park, picturesque valleys, beautiful lakes and tranquil beaches - so much in such close proximity.
LLANDUDNO/CONWY/SNOWDONIA/GOLF LLANDUDNO
The town of Landudno grew in the 1850s from the wealth of the Victorian period and was designed specifically as a holiday resort. Llandudno has 21st-century facilities, yet still retains that unique, evocative quality conceived by the Victorians.The North Wales Theatre - The North Wales Theatre occupies a spectacular position on Llandudno's water front with views across the Bay to the Great and Little Ormes.
It has a 1,500 seat auditorium and its impressive stage area is the second largest in the UK with the capacity and facilities to host any production you care to mention. The North Wales Theatre is able to accommodate the world's best opera, dance and musical companies as well as drama and the variety for which Llandudno is renowned .

The Great Orme Copper Mines The top of the Great Orme has views "comparable with those from the far loftier summits in Snowdonia" and can be reached by road or via a 1902 tramway. There is a bar and restaurant complex, visitor centre and picnic areas - but the Great Orme's historical interest lies underground. In the 19th century, the old mine workings were assumed to be Roman but since serious modern excavation began in 1987, over four miles of tunnels dating between 1860 BC and 600 BC have been surveyed.

Bodnant Garden is a fabulous garden in a beautiful setting looking across the Conwy Valley towards the Snowdon range.
With its Italianate terraced gardens and laburnum arch (May) it is certainly worth a visit. Click here for more information.

Acknowledged as a World Heritage Site, Conwy, with its medieval castle, complete town walls and historic buildings, must surely be one of the finest walled towns in Europe. The imposing grey battlements of Edward I's 13th-century Castle form a stark contrast to the colourful scene of the harbour with its graceful yachts and fishing boats. More boats can be seen at Conwy's Magnificent Marina. Click here for further information.
Action is the main attraction here! A staggering range of activities for everyone and every ability. With rushing rivers, silent mountain lakes, forest trails and woodland walks, rock climbing, hill walking, you have a formula for a unique all-action holiday, and one in which you'll be spoiled for choice.
