The Hardings in Llandudno and North Wales


Can anywhere beat north Wales for views and thrilling modes of transport? Llandudno has an irresistable hinterland…

The Smallest House in Britain is shut, but stunning views open up to the Harding family on their train ride through the Conwy valley to Porthmadog. Indeed all modes of transport are sampled on this Llandudno-based holiday – from tramway and donkeys and ponies to pleasure-park locos, pedaloes and sleek American style cars that even the smallest boy can drive! Spot the nod to Alice in Wonderland …

This film was shot by Ken Harding, who lived in Stockport and frequently holidayed in north Wales with his family. He is seen here with his wife and two children.
