A trip to Llandudno isn’t complete until you’ve strolled along the majestic sweep of the promenade, eating icecream and shooing away seagulls. Queen Victoria herself watched Professor Codman’s Punch & Judy Show , performed by the same family since 1860 – we hope she was amused. Mr Punch’s iconic red-and-white-striped tent sits by the entrance to the 1878-built Victorian pier, the longest in Wales at 670m. A small amusement hall at the far end contains slot machines and twopenny-falls.
