Happy Valley was once a quarry stretching down the Great Orme, and was a gift from Lord Mostyn to the town of Llandudno to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. After the quarry was donated as a gift, the area was developed with gardens and attractions.
Llandudno is situated on the North Wales coast. It's known for its 19th century Llandudno Pier with shops and a games arcade. Northwest of town, the cliffs of Great Orme headland jut into the sea. Ancient tunnels lead to a cavern at Great Orme Mines. A 1902 tramway travels to the headland's summit.
