Llandudno (/lænˈdɪdnoʊ/^{[citation needed]}, Welsh: [ɬanˈdɨdnɔ] ^ⓘ) is a seaside resort, town and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales, located on the Creuddyn peninsula, which protrudes into the Irish Sea. In the 2021 UK census, the community – which includes Gogarth, Penrhyn Bay, Craigside, Glanwydden, Penrhynside, and Bryn Pydew – had a population of 19,700 (rounded to the nearest 100).^[1] The town's name means "Church of Saint Tudno".^[2]

Llandudno is the largest seaside resort in Wales, and as early as 1861 was being called 'the Queen of the Welsh Watering Places'^[3] (a phrase later also used in connection with Tenby^[4] and Aberystwyth;^[5] the word 'resort' came a little later). Historically a part of Caernarfonshire, Llandudno was formerly in the district of Aberconwy within Gwynedd until 1996.
