The Great Orme Tramway is a unique cable-hauled tramway that has been carrying passengers to the summit of the Great Orme since 1902. The journey begins at the base station near Llandudno's promenade and ascends through scenic woodland and open hillside, with two sections connected by a passing loop. Visitors can enjoy the vintage trams, which retain their original character, and upon arrival at the summit, they are rewarded with sweeping views of the Irish Sea, Snowdonia, and the town below. The tramway operates seasonally and is a delightful way to experience the Great Orme's natural beauty.
