Save £3 and park in the village just up by the hotel, then take advantage of the most educational free public toilet in the UK. The Easy Route is well named and for the majority of the population , including push chairs, wheelchairs and intrepid flip flop wearers, the path is clear and the falls are truly lovely, especially on a warm day when you can paddle in pristine cold water. For the fitter, braver, boot wearing traveller the route down along the Harder Path takes in another smaller waterfall and a tougher, longer path strewn with boulders, muddy patches, steep up and down sections and sheep. Dogs on leads essential and the last mile is vertigo territory. You'll be thankful you didn't choose this route to start with. The scenery is stunning , an overheard comment being "It's like a mini Yosemite".

As a local resident this is an ancient place of sanctuary and historical significance. Like many preserved megalithic spots here, it is not a national tourist destination, and should be respected as such. Use an ordnance survey map rather than Google, looking at a proper map will help you see the significance of the area. Don't expect a red carpet for parking - the lane and jubilee pillars should be kept clear for the farmer and emergency services due to access restrictions on the steep bend. If you want to visit this place then it is advisable to park by the library and walk up via the fisheries. This area is full of wildlife and you must remember to pick up your litter. The ground gets boggy in places. If you're a keen hiker then this is an easy walk. If you have dodgy knees and expect signs and paths then stick to the beach. Remember that the weather closes in rapidly between the mountains and the sea so be prepared for wind and rain. Although some days you can be blessed with complete calm and sunshine with a panoramic views. Remember Wales is not a theme park and leave it as you found it.

Conwy Mountain is lovely to visit. Actually finding the base of the mountain was a bit challenging as we kept going the wrong way but it is straightforward if you know the way! It's a lovely walk up the mountain via the easiest walk and not very strenuous at all. There are wild ponies on the mountain and sheep which is a nice bonus. The views are stunning. Most people seemed to be equipped with hiking boots and walking poles etc although on a nice day a pair of trainers were more than adequate.

Beautiful Gardens on the Great Orme, overseeing Llandudno bay, with great views of the Pier, Promenade, and Little Orme. There are loads of picturesque sightlines within the Gardens that are great for photos, so much so you'll have to keep stopping in your tracks to make sure you capture the moment. The Garden has somewhat of a Alice in Wonderland theme, with wooden sculptures and a band stand being themed off characters from the story. This has been done as a reference to how Alice's real life inspiration, Alice Liddell used to go on holidays to Llandudno as a child. Good for picnics, as unlike the Promenade there aren't any seagulls trying to the steal your food, and there is also a small cafe if you didn't bring along any food. There are plenty of benches spread out across the gardens, if you want to take a rest from walking or you just want to soak in the views. Alternatively, you could also use the lawn to sit down and admire the view or have a look at it's landmarks including the aforementioned band stand, stone circle, and Queen Victoria bust. Nearby is a Cable Car Ride, which for the brave traveller, rewards them with even greater views of the Orme, though it is a bit pricey at £11 per person for a return ticket. Overall the place is a must visit when coming to Llandudno, as it's only a short walk from the promenade, it's views are outstanding, and most importantly it's free.
9. Conwy Town Walls

Conwy town walls are one of the few medieval examples in Britain that are almost complete. The fact that you can walk almost the whole length (free!) Makes them all but irresistible. The only daunting aspects are the uneven surfaces (well, wouldn't you expect that after well over 700 years?), some heights that may make some people nervous and a few steep climbs that do tax this septuagenarian. All can be overcome with a little care and it is certainly worth it. From the views up and down the Conwy estuary from the lowest point of the wall jutting into the river, to the spectacular vista of the town from the highest point of the wall every step offers a new perspective. Even better, you are never far from a good place for a rest and refreshment whenever the need arises at any of the 6 access points to the wall. Keep an eye on the kids and imagine yourself as a member of the English garrison charged with keeping the Welsh out of the town once the curfew bell had sounded. It offers an opening into the fascinating history of the area.
