Llandudno III

[poliphilo]

My favourite shot from yesterday. Llandudno is delightfully traditional. Not only donkey rides but also a Punch and Judy man. 



I like this one too.



And, finally- the Cheshire cat.  Alice Liddel (the original Alice in Wonderland) used to holiday in Llandudno and the Happy Valley gardens on the Great Orme are scattered with these delightful wood carvings of Wonderland characters.

That's splendid. Where is it located in relation to everything else?

At the far end of the Great Orme from the pier - it's called the West End - facing across the sea to Puffin Island and Anglesey. On a clear day it has a view of Beaumaris Castle.

Ah, so I didn't get anywhere near it.

Maybe next time......

You can't do everything!

From the pier you go along the long straight road (Gloddaseth Road becoming Gloddaeth Avenue) that runs parallel with the Orme. There are large car parks on both sides of that road, about half way along it, and from those it's about five minutes' walk, perhaps less for a brisk walker. There is also a car park at the West End - but they all get pretty full on a fine day.
When you get to the end, turn right for the Liddell house, left for a good meal at the Sandringham Hotel.

Thanks for the directions.

I love the Alice books.
