Somehow the thought of "the Welsh Riviera" never fails to crack me up...but that's exactly what it is, a late Victorian seaside resort, frozen in time architecturally, Wales' answer to Brighton, perhaps. We were there, in Llandudno, in 2022, and thought the place most interesting and amusing. Only a few miles from Bodnant, so we had to go back again.

The 3 or so mile sweep of the bay and beach; reminiscent of Nice, but,
um, way less expensive, and less warm; also less fashionable...and also... |
 |
| Gorgeous old hotels |
 |
| Miles of them |
 |
| Looking the other way, to the pier and amusement park |
 |
| And another grand old hotel |
 |
The beach, a combination of shingle, pebble, and sand; and cold
water, even on a hot day |
 |
| Ample historical/interpretive info |
 |
| Interesting place; plus Nice doesn't have a pier and ferris wheel |
