Train Ride to Llandudno & Summiting the Great Orme!

Train Ride to Llandudno & Summiting the Great Orme! I rode with Transport for Wales on one of their class 197 trains from Manchester to Llandudno, where I then took a trip on the Great Orme tramway up to the top of the mountain!

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

i love Llandudno! We went there in 2017 and I think the cable car only ran once then! Still, prefer the tram tbh! Oddly enough, we've just got back from a fortnight in Scarborough and I felt the two resorts were quite similar too. I think it's because the Peninsula (formed by the Great orme in Llandudno and the hill with the castle on-near to where we stayed-in Scarborough) gives two coasts at each, and of course, the archetecture's pretty similar, but then, that seasidey archetecture features in so many of our seaside resorts, contributing to why I love them so much!

We always used to go to Llandudno when I was a kid. I remember the cable car being built! Only managed one ride on it as we preferred the tram and the cable car doesn't like the wind. Website says cable car is cash only (and no cashpoint at summit or base station).

[@GLovesTrains]

Yeah noticed it was cash only on that 👍

Thanks!

[@paulharvey9149]

It's 23 years since I've been to Llandudno, thanks for the reminder! I've not been on the cable car either, hence you have my commiserations. I seem to remember the beach being sandier, but maybe not to the extent I'm thinking!

[@davejoey]

Great video as usual G! Jen did ride on the Great Orme with Bryn a couple of years ago. They went up and down on both the Tram and the cable car. She did seem to enjoy it. She also played some mini golf as well!

[@GLovesTrains]

Thanks! And sounds great, would have loved to try the cable car 😀

[@iana6713]

I love the variety of trains you encounter on your travels - up in my neck of the woods we just get the usual 158's and 170's plus ScotRail's Inter7City Class 43's but I think they're looking to eventually replace those old warhorses. I like those Class 197's as they seem very smart. I have never been to Llandudno, (yet), but that has to be one on the bucket list. The views are incredible!

[@GLovesTrains]

Sure are! I wanna try one of the scotrail hsts still 😄

[@iana6713]

@@GLovesTrains You have time to do it one day! I'm not sure when exactly they're planning phasing them out yet so there's still time.

[@GreatOrmeGreySeals]

Great vid! You should have visited the Great Orme Seals! There's also lots more wildlife, including rare insects and spiders. A big glow worm colony, the famous goats. Too much to list! Go to the tourist information place in the Victoria Centre and buy a map called Secrets of the Great Orme. It's a brilliant little map showing loads of places on the Orme. I can always show you where to find things when you come back. I'm out on the Orme every day.

[@christianpatton1852]

What a lovely day at Llandudno it seems do miss visiting the UK.

[@markjones127]

On your re-re-visit check out West Shore too, there's two beaches in Llandudno and you were on North Shore but the West Shore beach is by far the better beach as it's sandy and part of Conwy Estuary so the tide goes out a long way, there's a gorgeous coastal path too which goes all the way to Deganwy train station which is about a 2 mile walk.

[@GLovesTrains]

Sounds great!

[@JB-ek4yx]

Everybody goes up the Orme in the tram, when I went up I was in an ice-cream van as I was working in one at the Llandudno Transport Festival a few years ago & needed something to do in the evening 👍

[@BecauseOfDragons]

If you get to go back to the Little Orme again, if you head around the other side and follow the paths round the base, you should get to a little seal watching area which is very special. Great for bird watching as well

[@GLovesTrains]

Sounds great!

[@stuartrawson5057]

Fantastic Llandudno vlog G nice to see you got a dry day last time I went it was very windy and raining which isn't good when the trams have no windows and the cable cars weren't running either . I wonder if they actually work

[@GLovesTrains]

Haha! I'm determined to get on that cable car now 😂

If you get around to your re-revisit, plan for the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. The town will be full of the Victorian Extravaganza events and the Llandudno Transport Festival with historical transport of all sorts - not sure about trains though!

Brilliant little day out. Some big childhood memories there. What is your favourite seaside town?

Gotta be Blackpool!

[@6yjjk]

I used to visit Llandudno regularly, and soon learned to ride the cable car up if it was running, because it probably wouldn't be by the time I wanted to come down again. And if it wasn't, always to buy the return on the tram. Too windy, too hot, too cold, too rainy, too short-staffed, someone jumped off it and killed themselves - it was always something.

Can you drag me along next time please? I grew up in Llandudno and only left 2 years ago, I miss it so much! Love your videos!

[@GLovesTrains]

Aww thanks!

[@Fat_Cat_747]

There's a lot to do on and around the Orme. I think I recall riding a rider braked steel toboggan ride from the lower slopes, which was a lot of fun. There's a private one way road scenic drive to do around the bottom if you have a car. There's an old gold or copper mine to visit on the Orme. That cable car is worth going back for and the tram was great - by the way there's a similar thing in Barcelona. Sometimes from the pier there's an old paddle steamer ship takes you on a trip down the Menai Straits and under the bridge. As you probably know, nearby Conwy is hugely worth a visit, for the castle and the old harbour. Llandudno serves as a launch point for a rail trip based on the north-south running Conwy Valley Line with tons to do on the way, leading to Blaenau Ffestiniog for the old narrow gauge railway to Porthmaddog. Don't miss the slate mine tours at Blaenau. The sister narrow gauge railway is the Welsh Highland Railway which goes between Portmaddog and Caernarvon - another worthy place to stay. Im my opinion North Wales stands as good as most international destinations for a holiday. Its as exciting as most places in the world people have on their bucket list to see. The coast, the mountains, the heritage railways, the fun things to do like mines and quarry zip lines, all make it marvellous. Finally, buy the bluray of the unique, quirky show, The Prisoner, enjoy it and make a long visit to Portmeirion, its location ( near Porthmaddog ). You can stay there, either at the posh hotel or in one of the self catering properties in the 'Village' ................. " Be seeing you "

I've been to Llandudno once before on a coach trip, (only for a day trip) such a lovely place too, particularly for a seaside holiday. **Wow** though.... I never knew you could get there by train, and from Manc picc too. This would be very handy for me to think about for future reference, since Piccadilly is quite an easy to get to station for me. I'm very glad about this. I'm wondering if it's a little bit expensive though. (to travel to Llandudno) Is there any way to find out the price online beforehand, or just go to Manc picc and ask at the ticket depot there? I loved your video. You make a lot of nice ones, and I like to watch them, even though I don't comment on many of them. I watched your plain flight video too, when you had a lovely trip abroad to Barcelona in Spain. Wow, that must have been a lovely holiday for you. :) You make lots of lovely videos of your train trips, so please keep them coming. :)

I'm the leader of a walking club group and we visited Llandudno (which we reached by coach) on the last Sunday in June this year. We climbed the Great Orme from the Pier through the Happy Valley (and you are correct, it's steep) before heading off to St. Tudno's Church lower down. We then climbed back up and wandered around the outside of the National Trust managed Parc Farm before taking the steep 'Monks Path' down to the road on the Conwy side of the Orme and then the 'Invalids Path' which returns you to the Victoria Tram terminus and the town centre. As well as doing that on the Sunday with my group, I had also used the train to get me to and back from Llandudno for my walk reconnoitre a few days earlier. Fab place Llandudno, and as always I enjoyed your vlog.
