Not Switzerland—Wales is serving major fairytale vibes! The Alice in Wonderland town is giving pure magic with a seaside Ferris wheel, vintage trains, and Victorian charm. If you want Insta-worthy pics, make sure to hit this spot on a sunny day!
Here’s how to live your best UK trip:
📍 Great Orme
Hop on the Great Orme Tramway 🚂 — this Victorian-era funicular zooms you up the cliffs, winding through the Country Park and scenic nature reserves (the views are 🤯!). After snapping pics from the top, ride down on the 1920s wooden cable car (£10.50) for a retro throwback and massive panoramas of the coastline.
Location: Great Orme Tramway, Llandudno LL30 2XF, Wales
Operating hours: 10:00 - 18:00 (seasonal)
📍 Llandudno Bay
The iconic blue-and-white pier at Llandudno is THE spot to chill. Waiting for sunset? Jump on the old-school Ferris wheel (£5) for that epic shot—sea, Great Orme cliffs, and the glowing sky all in one frame. Don’t miss The Crescent—these Victorian buildings are England’s most gorgeously preserved and the colorful walls are top-tier for photos!
Location: North Parade, Llandudno LL30 2LP, Wales
Llandudno Pier open: 10:00 - 22:00
📍 Happy Valley
Step into a dreamy 19th-century garden! Happy Valley has mini golf, terraced flower beds, plus woodland paths perfect for a chill stroll or zen moment.
Location: Happy Valley, Llandudno LL30 2XD
Open 24/7
📍 Alice in Wonderland Trail
Walkers, this is the bucket-list trail! The Alice in Wonderland themed walk features 34 quirky spots straight out of the story—think the White Rabbit statue, Alice’s Cottage, even the Queen’s Hotel. Channel your inner Alice as you explore the town; the whole thing takes 2-3 hours at a comfy pace.
Start point: Llandudno Tourist Office, Mostyn Street, LL30 2RP
📍 West Shore
For golden-hour magic, locals swear by this hidden gem sunset beach. West Shore is more chill than the main sands, and you get Alice-themed sculptures plus an iconic red phone box for ridiculously cute snaps.
Location: West Shore, Llandudno LL30 2BG
Open all day
No need to go to Switzerland—Wales’ Llandudno is living up to the hype! Victorian seaside vibes + fairy tale trails + sunset magic = SO worth it.
