Llandudno

Llandudno, a fashionable watering-place in Carnarvonshire, North Wales, is situated on the level neck of a promontory between the Great and Little Orme's Heads, 48 miles by rail WNW. of Chester. Its bracing and delightful climate, its good sea-bathing, and its picturesque surroundings—the Great Orme's Head (700 feet) commanding views of Snowdon and Anglesey, and even of Man and the Cumberland mountains—have combined to raise Llandudno since 1841 from a small fishing-village to a yearly resort of some 20,000 visitors, with many hotels and boarding-houses, hydro-pathics, a fine promenade, a pier (1250 feet), a 'marine drive' ($5\backslash frac\{1\}\{2\}$ miles), &c. Resident pop. (1851) 1131; (1881) 4839; (1891) 6065.
