The name of the town Llandudno carved into a grassy hill can be seen from the end of the Victorian pier.
The word Llandudno in capital letters is located on a grassy bank that overlooks the shore in a park called Happy Valley.
"Happy Valley was once a quarry stretching down the Great Orme, and it was a gift from Lord Mostyn to the town of Llandudno in celebrating of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria back in the year of 1887. After the quarry was donated as a gift, the area was developed upon as gardens with many attractions within itself. Within Happy Valley were two miniature golf courses, a putting green, and very popular open air theatre and many lawns situated around the area."
