Haulfre Gardens

These gardens follow a path which stretches from Llandudno's West Shore, over part of the Great Orme and down into the old town on Llandudno's North Shore, that was built before the Victorian tourism boom. Alternatively, for those with more energy, a new path has been opened which veers off the traditional walk, taking you up and over the Great Orme to its summit.

The Haulfre Gardens are the remains of extensive terraced gardens on site of the Great Orme overlooking Llandudno. Many plants and flowers thrive in the rocky grasslands along along the path. The terraced gardens were first laid out in the 1870s by Henry Davis Pochin, a Victorian industrial chemist, a notable plants man, the founder of Bodnant Gardens. The Haulfre Gardens were opened as a public park in 1929 and are now maintained by Conwy County Borough Council. It is protected by CADW (Welsh Historic Monuments) and has recently been restored thanks to the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
