Goats that took over Welsh town continue reign of terror by climbing on roof
The wild goats that mounted a takeover of North Wales town during the first Covid lockdown are back in business – and terrorising more residents than ever.
Two goats in the seaside resort of Llandudno were seen taking their mischief to new heights on Thursday by climbing onto someone’s roof.
It’s yet to be determined if this counts as their Government-approved daily exercise, but one thing is for sure – the goats don’t play by the rules.
Footage of the incident was posted to Facebook by local Michael Lunn who complained ‘they get everywhere’.
He’s not wrong – since taking the Welsh town in March, the now-infamous Llandudno goats have been spotted eating people’s gardens, lingering outside the local chippy and waiting for buses.
One curious goat was even caught roaming the halls of a deserted hotel in January.
People on social media found their most recent antics hilarious, with the footage attracting dozens of comments.
Someone called Beccy said ‘they’re getting so naughty!’, while a Facebook user named Linda added: ‘The kings of the Llandudno Great Orme! Now kings of the Llandudno town!’
Another commentator named Alex joked: ‘Imagine being in your house and hearing something casually clopping across your roof. DEMONS!! Or burglars in clogs?!’
The naughty animals managed to pull at the heartstrings of others, with a woman named Cheyan saying: ’I want a goat. They’re so cute!’

The Great Orme ‘goat overlords’ typically only leave their territory on the coastal headland to take refuge in the outskirts of the village in windy weather – but now are ‘going further than ever’.
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.
