late March, during which period you can drive along a cliff-side road, the
Marine
Drive,
which winds uphill in a circular route that reaches a point near the summit.
Cars pay a toll of £2.50.
Just above Marine Drive is the ancient
Church of St. Tudno,
from which the
town derives its name. The present stone building dates from the 12th century, but
the church was founded 600 years earlier. Between April and October, it's open all
day, and between June and September, there are open-air worship services every
Sunday at 11am. For more information about the church and its services, call

.
The resort has two beaches, the most famous on the northern edge of town, flank-
ing a boardwalk and the Irish Sea, where you'll find the bandstand and traditional
Punch and Judy shows in summer. Over on the quieter, west side of town, the beach
opens onto more scenic views of Snowdonia and the Conwy Estuary. It's the place to
head at sunset. At the end of the north-shore promenade, a fine Victorian
pier
was
built in 1877, jutting 699m (2,295 ft.) into the bay at the base of the Great Orme.
You'll get a fine view of it from
Happy Valley,
a former limestone quarry that was
turned into lush pleasure gardens in the 1880s.
