A GROUP of goats descended from the mountains into Llandudno’s streets on Sunday 30 January.

While strolling around the streets, the gang made themselves comfortable at various spots in the town.

The goats settled on Gloddaeth Avenue, and were a welcome surprise to townsfolk.

Resident Jim Jones captured the moment they took to the streets, public green spaces and people’s gardens.

Mr Jones said: “Llandudno is a favourite with residents and goats.”

The Great Orme headland is home to a herd of around 200 wild goats, which are thought to be descended from a pair of Indian goats presented by the Shah of Persia to Queen Victoria in 1837.

Mr Jones did warn of the security risks that they present, adding: “Although it is lovely to see them, there is concern about their safety crossing roads etc.

“The people whose hedge they were devouring were looking on in a bemused state.

“Great Orme security does need to improve.”
