TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Llandudno: If you want the best views without tackling the Great Orme entirely on foot, take the tram from Victoria Station on Church Walks. The cable car is another option, but as it runs seasonally and is weather dependent, the tram can be more reliable when planning ahead. Once you’re at the top, you can walk part of the way back down and enjoy the coastline at a slower pace."
