The Great Orme Tramway is a unique cable-hauled tramway that has been carrying passengers up the Great Orme since 1902. Visitors board vintage tramcars at the lower station in Llandudno and ascend through a wooded hillside to the summit. At the top, panoramic views stretch across the Irish Sea, Snowdonia, and the Isle of Man. The journey offers a charming step back in time, with the tram's original machinery still in use. It's one of only three cable-hauled street tramways still operating worldwide.
