Queen of the Welsh Watering Places

avatar

That’s what they used to call Llandudno back in 1861.




Clouds, as usual, my travel companion


Indeed, it stays true to this date. With enormous limestone headlands across the shores of the Irish Sea, this site is packed with visually stunning beaches and lovely colourful resorts.



And of course, plenty of seagulls— these notorious thieves are always hovering over the head to snatch your chips or whatever you are eating. The locals seem to have a strong dislike for them, so, if you are feeding them in front of any of their shops, please do not. Find somewhere else or be prepared to counter some yelling.

The shore, we went to the North one, it’s beautiful. Carefully planned red carpeting of the spacious motorway makes it more contrasting with the landscape.


Blue sea on one side, vibrantly decorated resorts on the other and lush greenery on another— it’s a combination of nature and man-made structures.



However, the beach is not stretched enough to accommodate many people, still, it’s shallow enough to ensure a lovely swimming experience. And the roads around the rocks will take you halfway to the top, in case you are too old/reluctant to make it there on foot. The cable car is another amazing experience, that gives you a birds-eye view of the whole landscape.



whoops...



















But like the other side of the river where the grass is always greener, once you reach the top of The Great Orme, the largest limestone headland of this surrounding, you’ll notice other rocks here and there surrounded by the sea and you’ll be wondering— they look better, eh?

I am not much of a photographer and hardly take out my phone to capture things. Actually, I was already tired at this point, although the peak was not so high, the gloomy weather made me disappointed and while trying to catch my breath I took the shot. Thank you for your close observation, it inspires.

I’ve not explored much of Wales even though I’m not that far from it. These pictures are absolutely beautiful and I feel I must explore Wales more. The most I’ve visited is Cardiff Bay.

We all have things to prioritise, not much time to enjoy the surroundings, right? I am happy to spare the time and visit a few places. Maybe you should try that too but the sunny days are almost gone, Snowdonia could be a real adventure in winter if you are up for it :p

Hii.....nice to hear from you.
Yeah, I had things to take care of, minimise distractions, and get rid of what was causing issues....now if you call that a transformation, lol!

I usually do not take photos, I prefer saving them in my memory, through my human lens. But I am growing an interest, to be honest, and a brother of mine was generous enough to teach me some tricks which are doing wonders.

You know what is awesome here? It's your kindness, inspiration and especially, YOU!
A whole lot of AWESOMENESS!
🧡
