- Llandudno is the largest seaside resort in Wales, and as early as 1861 was being called 'the Queen of the Welsh Watering Places.
Enjoy a ride on the Llandudno Cable Car during your visit to the beautiful resort.
Opened on 30 June 1969 as the longest passenger cable car system in Britain, this unique experience continues to be one of town’s most popular attractions.
As the Llandudno Cable Cars glide silently from Happy Valley to the summit of the Great Orme, 679 feet up, you can take in the jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Bay of Llandudno, the Little Orme, the Conwy Estuary and miles out over the Iris Sea. And then look down on the beautiful gardens of Happy Valley or glimpse the action at the Llandudno Ski & Snowboard Centre.
The distance to the summit is just over a mile and the leisurely journey takes about nine minutes on an endless steel rope.
The Llanduno Cable Cars are painted in red, yellow, orange and light blue making them a colorful addition to the landscape of the Great Orme Country Park.
The highest point from the ground is around 80 feet and nine pylons support the cable.
Once at the summit, there are more spectacular views to enjoy.
Anglesey, the mountains of Snowdonia, Puffin Island and beyond are all visible.
You can explore the Great Orme by following one of the many footpaths.
Call into the Great Orme County Park Visitor Centre where interactive and audio-visual exhibits describe the Great Orme’s history, geology and wildlife.
You can also buy a selection of walking and nature trail leaflets.
The Great Orme Summit Complex, once owned by boxer Randolph Turpin, has a restaurant, café, bar and shop in addition to an adventure playground and Rocky Pines Adventure Golf.
You can buy a single or a return for the Llandudno Cable Car from the Happy Valley station or from the Summit terminus. (Please note: Cash only - the Cable Car operator does not accept card payments).
Llandudno’s appearance is down to the fact that, unlike most other resorts, it has remained largely unchanged for over a century. There’s a pier (the longest in Wales) and Punch and Judy, donkey rides on the beach and canopied shopping streets just behind the prom. Put simply, Llandudno is a classic of its kind.
Llandudno’s sense of harmony extends to its geography. The main North Shore beach is perfectly framed by two headlands, the Great Orme and Little Orme. Over the former linked by a spectacular Marine Drive carved into the sea-cliff, you’ll find a second beach, the West Shore.
Beautiful place and awesome weather
The scenery is beautiful
Riding a cable car is always fun. Thank you for the information. I didn`t know that the longest cable car in UK is this one shown in the video.
I cannot get over the incredible scenery. To be honest I would probably be absolutely terrified to go up in one of the cable cars but watching on the video looks heavenly 😂

Hey thanks for your comment 😊 it's a shame they close the cable car when it's windy but hopefully you get to experience it the next time you visit 🤞
