We went there for our UK honeymoon.  Well, we went to Bangor and visited Llandudno.  It was cute very touristy beachy boardwalky fun.  I enjoyed it.  The cable car does not run while it is raining and they take cash only!! 

We got up there, my dh had to run down to get cash and by the time he got back it was raining.  Grrrrr. 

If you have a car there is other stuff to do in the area.  My dh has always wanted to go to the Copper Mine in the area.

No idea what there is to do in Llandudno, but it's only an hour away from Chester, so y'all could meet us for lunch on Saturday!  ;D

I spent many a family holiday in Llandudno and the surrounding area (Conway, Rhyll etc). I got sick of the place after a few years, but it really is nice there.

The Great Orne is quite pretty to walk up on a nice day, and the beach isn't too bad really, plus theres a few castles and mines nearby to visit if thats your thing (unfortunately for my teenage self, it was completely my fathers thing!).

All in all it's quite pleasant but I wouldn't stay there for more than a short week.

Many, many, many family holidays on Anglesey with my cousins. In fact, we were just in Betws-y-Coed in May for one of their weddings. It is absolutely gorgeous, if you like wet, verdant valleys, and slate mountains.  ;D

j/k, the beaches are great too. If you have wheels, its worth going to Bangor to see the Menai Bridge and the Narrows, and Red Wharf Bay on Anglesey is worth a visit too. At low tide, the whole bay is one giant beach. Just don't get caught out in the middle when the tide starts to come in though. You'll get wet in a hurry.

Bleanau Ffestiniog is worth a visit too, just because its fun to say.  :)
