GETTING AROUND

The town is readily accessible by road with a trunk road along the coast linking to the motorway network in England. There is also a train line with links to the main rail network. The nearest major airport would be Manchester. A car would be useful for those who would like to explore the area, although it is hoped to be able to offer some coach tours. It will not, however, be possible to arrange trips to Ireland during the Feast. Anyone interested in such a tour will need to make their own arrangements

Llandudno is just off the main rail line between Chester and Holyhead, the latter being the main ferry port for travel to Ireland. Llandudno is served by a branch line from Llandudno Junction.
