It would be so interesting to know whether there were any original 'children' still reciprocating the goodwill and exhaustive and exhausting roles myself and Dawn Simcock played way back then? Good luck to all of you.

My recommendation would be to go around sunset to take in the setting sun! Stop and get yourself a waffle or ice cream (depending on season) and enjoy the views from a bench!

It's a safe family beach with a lifeguard during the summer, disabled access and nearby toilets.

The former Prime Minister William Gladstone was a huge fan of the resort of Penmaenmawr. After…read morefirst visiting the town in 1855 he paid eleven further visits over the following forty years. He's fondly remembered by the locals who erected a bust in the town and there's also a local gastro-pub named after him! If you visit the beach you can understand the attraction. This is a huge, flat and sandy beach (at least when the tide's out) and offers spectacular views of Llandudno and the Great Orme to the East and the Isle of Anglesey to the West. It's also reasonably easy to get to these days. Just off the A55, the main road between Chester and Holyhead and also close to the railway station which lies on the London to Holyhead line. There's a cafe, public toilets and an outdoor shower to wash off the sand after a day of building sandcastles and swimming in the Irish Sea. It's also always very quiet so you'll have no trouble finding space for the deckchairs. It's a shame really but the town has very little tourist accommodation available to attract holiday makers. So while ten miles along the coast Llandudno attracts thousands of tourists despite not having much of beach over in Pen a fantastic beach remains underused.
