Llyn Ogwen is a placid ribbon lake formed at the base of the Ogwen Valley. To accompany its tranquil beauty, an ancient myth surrounds the lake. Bedwyr Bedrynant, one of King Arthur’s knights, is said to have cast the famous sword Excalibur into the lake. From that day, the sword has never been seen again. As such, Llyn Ogwen is now claimed to be Excalibur's final resting place. There’s a short 2.9-mile loop walk that can be taken around the lake if you’re looking to stretch your legs without climbing up to the peaks.

Take a short walk up to Cwm Idwal, a glacial cirque. Thousands of years ago, snow was compressed to neve and then compacted to ice. This began to turn and grind out the hollow in the mountain. Soon, a glacier formed and began to flow down the valley leaving the gaping void known as Cwm Idwal you see today! As with many places in Wales, there’s another story behind the formation of Cwm Idwal. Legend states Idwal was a 12th-century prince who was murdered by his jealous uncle Nefydd due to his beauty. Nefydd took Idwal into the mountains and pushed him into the icy lake where he drowned. Stricken with grief, Idwal’s father named the lake after his son to mark his memory in eternity. They say that since that day, birds have never nested around the waters of Cwm Idwal through respect and sorrow.

The town's name means "Church of Saint Tudno".Llandudno is the largest seaside resort in Wales, and as early as 1861 was being called 'the Queen of the Welsh Watering Places' (a phrase later also used in connection with Tenby and Aberystwyth; the word 'resort' came a little later).
