Great Orme is a prominent limestone headland that rises dramatically above Llandudno. Visitors can take a scenic cable car ride or ride the historic tramway to the summit, where they are rewarded with sweeping views of the coast, the town, and Snowdonia on clear days. The headland is crisscrossed with walking trails that lead through wildflower meadows and past ancient copper mines. It's a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking fresh air and stunning vistas.
Don't miss
- Ride the Great Orme Tramway, a Victorian cable-hauled tram that climbs the steep hillside
- Walk the summit trails to discover prehistoric copper mines and wildflower meadows
- Enjoy panoramic views from the summit café and viewing platforms
