A Break in Llandudno, Wales
A Victorian favourite once billed as the “Queen of Welsh resorts”, Llandudno has kept much of the charm (魅力) that made it so popular. The walking path around Llandudno Bay, the smell of fish and chips moving in the air, and old-fashioned amusements all combine to deliver a typical British seaside break. And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, which has an impressive castle and Britain’s smallest house.
Where to eat
Dylan’s, on Llandudno’s East Parade, is set in a Grade Ⅱ-listed building and offers sea views plus a menu starring local produce. Dishes might include Welsh lamb tacos and Conwy pork. Its attached shop has a range of award-winning Welsh sauces and preserves to take home.
Where to stay
Set in a Grade I-listed 17th-century country house, Bodysgallen Hall is one of only three National Trust-owned hotels. It has views of Conwy Castle. Guests can tour the grounds with the head gardener. From £260 per night.
What we like
A half-hour drive or train ride away, the picture-perfect market town of Llanrwst has an impressive three-arched (拱形的) bridge across the River Conwy. Take a walk and drop by a wine shop and restaurant Amser Da. Highlights include Welsh cheeses and Anglesey sea salt.
Don’t miss
A 20-minute drive from Llandudno, the National Bodnant Garden has Italian-style rose terraces (梯田). The step-free Rose Walk takes in key parts of the garden, such as Waterfall Bridge and Old Mill, set against the backdrop of the Eryri foothills.

The ski season in Europe will get underway early this year after some locations experienced bumper snowfall, following a period of unseasonably warm weather in October.
The Alps mountain range has been blanketed with heavy snowfall in the first weeks of November, with some slopes already reported to have over a meter of fresh powder and more in the forecast. The exceptional conditions, leading several resorts in France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland to open their lifts and slopes earlier than usual, have increased bookings for the upcoming ski season, as Euronews reported.
The substantial snowfall has brought much-needed relief to Europe’s ski resorts, and counters the impacts of a warming climate that has previously forced some lower-altitude ski centers to close due to insufficient snow. United Kingdom-based tour operator Jet2 has reported an “explosion” in demand for ski packages following what it described as last year’s disappointing November and December.
Ski resorts that open their slopes earlier than originally scheduled include Tignes in France, Kitzbuhel in Austria and Madonna di Campiglio in Italy. Switzerland has already welcomed skiers to nine areas, including popular destinations such as Davos, Zermatt and Verbier, with the latter opening three weeks ahead of schedule.
The impact of the El Nino climate pattern on Europe’s temperatures and weather provides hope for ski resorts of a winter with increased snowfall, as it is often associated with colder winters and a greater chance of snow, as the Daily Mirror newspaper reported.
More skiers are choosing to travel to resorts by train this year, with a survey by the Ski Club. of Great Britain revealing a significant increase from 2 percent in 2022 to 12 percent of respondents planning to use the railways this winter, possibly influenced by Eurostar’s expanded ski service.
