A great limestone headland above Llandudno, roamed by wild goats and riddled with some of the largest Bronze Age copper mines in the world

The Great Orme is a limestone headland rising to 207m above the seaside town of Llandudno in Conwy. Bronze Age miners dug for copper here thousands of years ago, and the tunnels they left behind are among the largest Bronze Age mines anywhere. A herd of wild Kashmiri goats lives on the slopes, and the headland is circled by the Wales Coast Path. You can walk up, drive the toll road, or ride the old Great Orme Tramway. The town’s name comes from St Tudno’s Church, a small medieval chapel near the top.
