Why we love it: Located in the seaside town of Llandudno on the slopes of the Great Orme, the Gorsedd Stone Circle is one of those peaceful, panoramic spots that make you fall in love with North Wales. Though not prehistoric (it was built in 1963 for the National Eisteddfod of Wales), its setting feels timeless — surrounded by sweeping views of the sea, mountains, and the town below.
It’s an easy walk from Happy Valley Gardens or a short detour if you’re exploring the Great Orme Summit. The area is quiet, scenic, and perfect for watching the light change over the coast — especially at golden hour.
💡 Tip: Bring a picnic or a coffee and take your time here — it’s one of Llandudno’s most tranquil hidden gems, ideal for photographers or anyone seeking a quiet moment away from the crowds.
🕊️ Perfect for: Walkers, photographers, and anyone who loves a good view with a sense of history.
