THE PREMIER RESORT of WALES LLANDUDNO
Bank Holiday Monday 26th August 2024
This morning we travel to the wonderful resort of
Llandudno, which has a host of attractions. Take a stroll
along the promenade and explore the Victorian Pier,
the longest in Wales or browse in the town shops and
take refreshments in the many restaurants and cafes.
The Great Orme is Llandudno’s own mini mountain,
which rises straight out of the sea to a height of 207m.
You can walk up if you are feeling energetic or take the
historic Great Orme Tramway, which has been ferrying
passengers to the summit since 1898. The Visitor
Centre has a cafe, a shop and a walk outside rewards
you with stunning views all the way to the Lake District.
Visit Happy Valley located on the Great Orme. It was
first created in the late 19th Century and was listed as
a historic garden of excellence during the 1930’s due to its notable Alpine plant collection. The Gardens have a café, adequate seating, miniature golf course and a camera obscurer. The park is extensive and contains many different areas, including: terraced gardens, woodland walks, formal lawns and a quarried cave known locally as Elephants Cave. In 2009 Happy Valley was awarded a Green Flag. This confirms our belief that Happy Valley is a park worthy of a status of national excellence.
Adults: £53.00 Senior Citizens/Child: £52.00 All attractions extra cost HIGHCLERE CASTLE TOUR, EGYPTIAN EXHIBITION AND GARDENS
Sunday 1st September 2024
Designed by Sir Charles Barry, architect of the Houses
of Parliament, this is considered to be one of the finest
Victorian homes still in existence, which houses fine
furniture and works of art. Today, the Castle is the
home of the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and is
known around the world as the real home of ‘Downton
Abbey’. The Egyptian Exhibition catalogues the 5th
Earl’s fascination with Egypt, his relationship with his
friend Howard Carter and the discovery and contents
of the tomb of Tutankhamun, including a magnificent
reproduction of the sarcophagus. Tours of the Castle
and Egyptian Exhibition are on a self-guided basis,
with guides throughout to provide information and
assistance. The Tearooms are open throughout
the day offering a delicious selection of sandwiches,
salads, wraps, cakes and scones. Light lunches and hot food are available between 12noon - 2pm. The Gift Shop is set in the Castle Courtyard selling a wide selection of exclusive, branded gifts for home and garden, inspired by different aspects of life at Highclere and reflecting this unique heritage.
