Just turned 50 and I've been back to Llandudno almost every year (taking as many people with me as possible) since I was a child of 4. It's like a second home to me, and this video was beautiful - thank you to the very talented producer for reminding me just how much I love the place - especially the Great Orme. 😊😊
An absolutely fabulous video. Well done. Such a beautiful place and proud to say I live 5 minutes away. Love my Wales 🏴 and very lucky to have such beauty on my doorstep xx
The jewel in North Wales's crown!, what a wonderful place Llandudno is. So fortunate to live so close on Merseyside to be able visit and holiday there frequently. Thank you for that brilliant video of a much loved place...♥
Hello David, thank you so much for your kind reply and thank you so much for the link, I am really made up as they say. No more endless hours searching the web. I watched your Llandudno Summer 2016 video as well last night and the video opens with that song. Once again a big thanks, we are very fortunate to have people like yourself with a talent to produce such lovely material and take the trouble to post it up on You Tube for others to enjoy. Everyone has their own skills and talents but not everyone can produce material such as yours. Have a great weekend and keep up the great work. Kind Regards
As a child I went to live with my aunt and uncle in Llandudno for a few months whilst my mom and dad recovered from TB in a midlands hospital. This video brings it all back and shows what an amazing place it is so thank you so much for your excellent video work
Beautiful portrayal of Llandudno, just wish you had shown more of the west shore area which in my opinion is more breathtaking and less touristy than the north shore. I love my home town! Always have, always will. She is the Queen of Welsh resorts followed closely by Barmouth. Thank you.
Thanks for this what a beautiful tribute to Llandudno. Llandudno has always been breathtaking in addition most of my families histories are linked to that spectacular part of North Wales My great grand father was born there, he and his family were always there, my own grand parents spent their honeymoon there, then they always had holidays there with my mother and her brother. My mother courted my father in Llandudno they were married there 47 yrs ago tomorrow, as they were partly living in Llandudno at the time. I was born in the Summer of 75 the first place I saw aged 2wks was Llandudno and then I spent my entire childhood and adolescence there every holiday Easter Wit in the Summer the whole three months and every weekend of the year october holidays and xmas and New Year,In fact we were hardly ever at home. I remember how vibrant it was when my friends and I use to spend the nights in the summer at John Simons fun fair where B&Q now stands. I have visted Llandudno every weekend up until 2011. Haulfre Gardens is beautiful and the views from the very top of invalid walk are spectacular over looking the West shore,and were wonderfully mystical especially Gogarth Abbey Hotel which was then still standing in my opinion, it isn't the same since they demolished it, I realise it was in a dreadful state of disrepair,however, the Penmorfa hotel was a gothic landmark of Llandudno not only that it's structure complemented the rugged surroundings behind it . I am always surprised at how many people who either holiday or day trip to Llandudno don't even seem to know the West shore exists,missing out on all those magnificent sunsets over conwy estuary . Some visitors don't even go through Marine Drive. At one time near the summit of the Great Orme, there was the rectory tea gardens and the view opposite the grave yard looking across at the Irish sea was in my humble opinion beyond spectacular, not too mention, the panoramas from the summit aka the original Captain 's table, where the playground is, just another view more spectacular than the view from marine drive, couple that with the tramway and the views from the cable cars. Yes Llandudno is truly unique,Conwy council should appreciate this and reinstate the sands to the North Shore. I often tell people how beautiful the North Shore sands were, I remember aged 5 in 1980, back in the days of the long donkey rides. I was standing on the roof of our hotel actually leaning over the side with my best friend and the view was a golden arc of sand right past the Washington, it was perfect, now people I know just believe it is a quarry mess, truly tragic Thanks for allowing me to reminisce , your video, is exceptionally important to remind people of Llandudno 's special beauty. In addition, although South Wales and Mid Wales are also very beautiful North Wales itself is truly a magnificent place, totally unique.
Wow! Held my attention from start to finish and that doesn't happen with many UA-cam videos! :) I'm originally from Llandudno. I left there in '94 but still return to see my mum of course! Such a beautifully made video of my home town. The best I've seen in fact! Congratulations!!!
Gorgeous video. I live in Llandudno and after a long walk around the marine drive on the great orme today, I was curious to see if there was any video's on UA-cam.. Such a beautiful 'movie'. Made me feel emotional and so proud and privileged to live here.
Thank you so much. I enjoyed making it. I was there for a few days taking stills and I found myself with a day off and took the footage on a whim. I had three cameras with me at the time, all Nikon's, but none a recognised video camera. I think I captured this footage on either a D750 or D500. Keep safe.
Thank you so much Steve, you are too kind.....I am preparing another on Llandudno composed of stills similar to my recent one on Chester.....Just a matter of finding the time.
Agree with you. It has grabbed my heart for the last 60 years. But don't let on too much how lovely it is, don't want hoards of tourists. Keep it's charm under wraps.
Thanks for the film. I also enjoy spending time in and around Llandudno. If anyone has got 4 to 5 hours to spare and is full of energy then why not do what I did last year and walk all the way around the Great Orme's Head, starting at the Pier side of the Orme and finishing at West Beach on the far side, I thoroughly enjoyed the walk as it is peaceful and full of nice views from every corner that you walk around.
My Pleasure Gary. I have done that walk all the way around with three cameras and a backpack full of gear. It was the hottest day of the year. I didn't know it was going to be the hottest day when I started out. lol
Brilliantly shot and edited video this capturing so much of the character of the place especially at dusk and come nightfall.. Lovely haunting music score that must have been made for this video as it fits it so well.. The most captivating Llandudno video that I have seen..👍👍💞
We can take this place for granted it's beautiful place to live I'm blessed. Thank u for such a lovely place to live. Praise to you all for always keeping it tidy. 😀
Fantastic!!! Thanks for Posting.Will be taking the walk up to St.Tudno's in Winter.Very evocative walk down just when the lights are coming on in Llandudno.Spectacular indeed.Atmosphere is second to none.
Great video ! 🤗 Thankfully free of blaring muzak...😉 Such a fantastic place ! Now on my bucket list for the "After Covid". Stay safe and well. Love from Oslo, Norway 💖
Great - did you use a tripod? Spent most childhood hols there from the Wirral, 50 yrs later I worked that area...wonderful Wales... you should go film the Gower Peninsular.
Hello David, I absolutely love your Llandudno the movie video and watch it quite a lot especially at this time as we have all been in lockdown. Anyhow I have searched and searched to try and find the track with the female singer that switches in at the point in your video where you dub a subtitle “ a collie doing what a collie does best.....staring” and continues till the video finishes. The music acknowledgement says CMA and I hear the track on a CMA album but not the version with the female singer singing softly as the video begins to draw to a close. It’s a while since you did the video but do you recall the track and the singer cos I can’t find it anywhere. Many thanks for a lot of enjoyment. 👍
Hi Geoffrey, Thank you so much for your very kind comment. Quite a few people have asked me about that song and have had problems finding it. Here are a couple of links. ua-cam.com/video/99BovceikIA/v-deo.html
As a resident of 42 years i agree that Llandudno is beautiful ...but let me take you on a tour of the things holiday makers don't see...the dark side of Dudno.
If you want a nice long walk, then why don't you walk all the way round The Great Orme, just as I did 2 years ago. It will only take between 3 and 4 hours to do it. I started my walk from The Pier and finished my walk at West Beach, which is the far side of Llandudno.

Best UA-cam video about wonderful Llandudno 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for such a beautiful video of Llandudno, David. It got me all emotional and big years rolled down my cheeks. I miss home so much.
Hello David, thank you so much for your kind reply and thank you so much for the link, I am really made up as they say. No more endless hours searching the web.

Best video of Llandudno I've seen on UA-cam..I will watch this every time I'm yearning to get back to my happy place...you're so lucky to live there
It was his happy place too. He didn't live there.
As a child I went to live with my aunt and uncle in Llandudno for a few months whilst my mom and dad recovered from TB in a midlands hospital. This video brings it all back and shows what an amazing place it is so thank you so much for your excellent video work
My pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
I live in North Cumbria now, and don't get to Llandudno as much these days. Thanks for such a wonderful film, brought back some fantastic memories. 🙏❤
The best place on earth,stayed there last year for a week and going again this August.
Used to live there in the eighties. Beautiful place to live

An excellent portrayal of this lovely holiday location and highlighting views which the less mobile of us can no longer hope to reach on foot. Thanks
My pleasure, thank you for your most welcome comments.
We love Llandudno been many times ,my daughter in law taught me how to say it correctly ,but it will always be Llandudno to me xxx

Love this video. My all time favourite on your channel, David. I just had to come back and play this again, as I'm sure I'll do again in the future.

@@davidlewis726 once i saw a load of jellyfish in the water at the pier, terrified of the pier but love it at the same time.
Just as promised (below), I came back in the future and played it again! :) - Still as good as the first time I saw it 👍
Thank you Andy. :)
I love it there when I go I always feel like I am going home .
David,just watched your video again and its the best Llandudno video on youtube and the backing music it just fits well done
Thank you so much Steve, you are too kind.....I am preparing another on Llandudno composed of stills similar to my recent one on Chester.....Just a matter of finding the time.

So enjoyed this beautiful video of my home town - now living in California. Thank you - great job!
Thank you Bob. Don't stay away too long. :)

Top marks Mr Lewis. Shows my home town in its full glory. Perfect choice of music too.
Thank you so much :)
When I was growing in Staffordshire many years ago. North Wales was a popular holiday destination for people from there.
We can take this place for granted it's beautiful place to live I'm blessed. Thank u for such a lovely place to live. Praise to you all for always keeping it tidy. 😀
What a beautiful Video on my home town, love it, thank you.
Thank you so very much for your very kind comment, Stephen...Much appreciated.
It's my Dad's hometown as well but sadly he died in 2018 his ashes are scattered in Happy Valley.
I am really sorry to hear that Karen, but a really beautiful resting place for sure.
May I just add that Your mixing is brilliant.Glorious Video indeed.10/10.Long live the timeless beauty of the Orme!!!

I'm from a neighbouring town but my father is from Llandudno. A lot of his family still live there. A beautiful place that has a rich history.
Nice video David. Hopefully the hotel lights can shine bright again.
Thank you Kevin, I wish for that as well.

Thanks once again for the compliment Sean, glad you enjoyed it
awesome place...just visit on last weekend
Fantastic!
Delighted that you enjoyed it :)
Lovely video, i will see Llandudno at Christmas
Delighted that you enjoyed it. A Christmas with Llandudno's Victorian backdrop sounds ideal.
fred flintstone I live in llandudno
beautiful place almost magical happy memories of a time long gone by but missed
There is something spiritual about North Wales. It's like an echo of the Great Revival of 1904 and it is still ringing.
Great video ,going to the Victorian weekend in may 2017
Thank you Steve, I just might be there as well :)
very nice - i liked it and i live there :)
Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much :)

Im in Llandudno at the moment!
If you want a nice long walk, then why don't you walk all the way round The Great Orme, just as I did 2 years ago. It will only take between 3 and 4 hours to do it. I started my walk from The Pier and finished my walk at West Beach, which is the far side of Llandudno.
I have done that a number of times in the past but I only captured still images not video.
♥️Beautiful♥️
just went there. St tudnos hotel. punch and judy was loud!
Do Llandudno The Movie 2
This is fantastic :D. I was wandering if i could use some of this footage in a video i would like to create?
Use with my blessing
Thank you very much i will make sure i put a link to your channel in the description too.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The name of the last song? Especially with the song..where can I find it??
I'm not sure sorry, it was well over three years ago. You could always record the song form this using a recording app.
Brilliant, if only it got more sunny warm weather like say the south of France.
Forgot the estates ladddd
Great video and thanks for sharing . Sub from me
Going very soon.
Have a wonderful time. :)
Thanks. My mums been sticking up pictures of Llandudno on the walls...😂
