LLANDUDNO has been crowned the winner of Wales in Bloom's Best Coastal Town Award for 2024 in a bumper year for Conwy County Borough.
Colwyn Bay took the top prize for Large Town at the ceremony in Abergavenny, while Conwy won the Small Town honours amid a glut of awards for the region.
As well as the top coastal town prize, Llandudno also celebrated 'Outstanding' rankings in the 'It's Your Neighbourhood' category for the Friend's of Prince's Green, Friends of Queen's Park, Friends of St Tudno's Church, Friends of Penrhynside, Friends of Happy Valley and Friends of West Shore.
Also recognised as 'Outstanding' was Incredible Edible Conwy, the Friends of Lancaster Square in Conwy and Vardre Bowling Club in Deganwy.
"We have to pay tribute to the Wales in Bloom committee, assessors and judges, but most of all the entrants and volunteers – ‘the Bloomers’- who make such a huge difference across the country and make Wales a better place to live and visit," said Peter Barton Price, Chair of Wales In Bloom.
"It’s Your Neighbourhood entries are proving to be a great stepping stone to the main campaign. This year they have really taken off. There were 129 entries, most of them for the first time.
"In all 2024 has been another successful year for Wales in Bloom with even more entries and ever increasing standards. Congratulations to you all and a very big thank you from all of us at Wales in Bloom."
