As the longest pier in Wales, which reaches into the sea for over a mile, this is the best place to experience a traditional day at the seaside. Take a stroll along the promenade before stopping on the pier for fish and chips, finished off with a delicious ice cream.
Enjoy impeccable views from great heights with these four-seater aerial cable cars. Each line of the cable is one mile long and heads from Happy Valley to the Great Orme summit, overlooking Llandudno Bay and the Maes-y-facrell Nature Reserve.
As part of a World Heritage Site, this stunning aqueduct stands at 70 feet high with each arch spanning 40 feet across. Wander beside the beautiful canal and if you dare you can even walk across the top of the aqueduct, where you will reap the rewards of breathtaking views.

This impressive castle was originally built for Edward I and is one of the finest of its kind that has survived. With two magnificent gateways and eight huge towers, this is definitely a site worth seeing on your holiday in North Wales.
Smallest House in Britain
Not far from Conwy Castle sits the smallest house in Britain. Not lived in since the 1900's when it was deemed unsuitable for human living, the house is now open for visitors to take a peek inside where there is a stepladder leading to the bedroom, which fits just a single bed and bedside table.

A visit to Snowdonia musters up images of climbing to the top of Mount Snowdon, but if you're not one for hiking and would still like to admire the panoramic views, then the Snowdon Mountain Railway is the perfect answer.
