Numerous architectural surprises are hidden within the neo-Gothic splendor of this parish church, built during Llandudno’s heyday as a vacation resort.

Artifacts from pre-history and Rome, historical photographs and a small but interesting art collection crowd into a beautiful Edwardian townhouse.

The only cable-hauled tramway in Britain, and in fact one of the last remaining in the world, the Great Orme Tramway is one of the most beloved heritage attractions in Wales, carrying in the region of 160,000 passengers every year from Victoria Station in Llandudno to the Summit Station, a distance of around a mile. First opened at the turn of the 20th Century, and preserved in part through funding from the National Lottery and the EU, the tramway operates on a funicular system, whereby each car is attached to the cable that is winched up the hill, the weight of the descending car helping to pull up the one ascending.
