| Railway Station on a spur from the Chester-Holyhead line, joining it at Llandudno Junction.
Now reduced to four platforms, mostly unsheltered. |

| Pier Pavilion, built 1886, gave a warmer space for the pier orchestra to play. It was badly damaged by fire in 1994, and twenty years later in 2014, the wreckage remains to be seen, the deep pit now full of mature trees and large buddleia..
The prominent site seems to have been abandoned. |

| The Marine Drive, built as a footpath in 1858 and as a carriageway in 1878. It is a toll road, and is one way for the first three and a half miles, the final mile is two way to give access to residents on Llys Helig. |

| Sand. Now a memory as in 2014 the beach was covered in 50,000 tons of rocks with a very steep slope to the sea "as a sea defence". There remains a tiny bit of sand by the pier end. |

| The small octagonal buildings at the pier end go back to 1858, although the roofs have since been flattened - they are now used as a bar and as a cafe.
A landing stage was added in 1891, and the large pier head pavilion was built in 1905. Originally there was a small bandstand where the pavilion now stands, but the band moved to the 1886 Pier Pavilion (destroyed 1994) next to the Grand Hotel. |

| Llandudno Pier, the longest in Wales at 2295 feet. The first entrance (1887) went behind the Grand Hotel, but a later entry was taken over the sea in front of the Hotel in 1884. To the left of the Grand Hotel is the Pier Pavilion (1886) destroyed by fire in 1994. |
