The Main Entrance can be found at the end of Cwlach Road which is south-west of the Llandudno Tram Station. The gardens are built into the side of the Great Orme and are generally quite steep but, you'll be pleased to hear, this main path has a fairly shallow gradient and following this will take you past the cafe.

Because of its situation it does give rather splendid views over Llandudno. There are lots of flowers to see at the appropriate time of the year but we didn't see many because we were there in late September.

These wooden carvings are Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Apparently Lewis Carroll (the pen name of Rev Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) who wrote Alice in Wonderland used to holiday in Llandudno with his family.

There are more of these sculptures in the Happy Valley Gardens.

There are many more delightful views when wandering the paths in these gardens. This view is across the bay to the west into Snowdonia.

One thing that these gardens don't seem to be short of, at least on the main path, is seating.

Once you reach the far end of the main path there is a gate which you can go through onto the continuation of the path outside the gardens but still on the slope of the Great Orme. There are a number of caves in the limestone above this path of which this is one.

We saw two types of cotoneaster on the Great Orme outside the gardens and you can see here that one has bright red berries and the other has pink berries. There is a rare variety found only on the Great Orme but we don't think that it is either of these.
