Oct. 5, 2017: Llandudno, North Wales

Llandudno is on the coast of North Wales.  35 Miles due west of Liverpool, England. It was built during the Victorian era to attract the wealthy tradesfolk from England for their annual vacation.

1 or 2 weeks bathing in the sea, fishing off the Pier or ascending the Great Orme.  (Centre right of photo)  By foot or by cable tram, it climbs for a mile to the summit where you can see a hundred miles in each direction.

In the history of the United Kingdom, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria’s reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.

Still a seaside resort today it caters for the more mature traveller.
