Visit the Lland where seaside holidays live on

A day at the seaside is a classic British activity, but sadly, many of its charming traditions are melting as quickly as a Mr Whippy, as families opt to jet off abroad instead.

However, one seaside town in Wales still offers a range of old-fashioned holiday attractions and even hosts an annual festival dedicated to its Victorian heritage.

Llandudno has roots dating back to the Stone Age but the area saw significant growth during the Victorian era. Men flocked to the town to work in the copper mines, as well as in fishing and agriculture, and it was later developed into a seaside resort. The arrival of Llandudno railway station in 1858 brought large numbers of Victorian visitors to the coast in search of fresh air and relaxation.
