The Great Orme is a stunning limestone headland that dominates the Llandudno skyline, offering panoramic views of the coast, town, and surrounding hills. I loved visiting because it’s so versatile — you can walk from Llandudno, take the cable car, ride the historic tram, or even drive up by car to reach the summit. Each option provides a unique perspective of this iconic landmark.

At the top, you’ll find wildlife, historic sites, and walking trails, making it a perfect spot for photography, short hikes, or simply soaking in the views. Don’t miss the Great Orme Tramway and the Old Lighthouse, and keep an eye out for wild goats roaming the slopes — a charming bonus to your visit.

Parking: Summit car park available; Llandudno town has additional parking if you choose to walk or take the tram/cable car.

Tip: Bring layers — it can be windy at the top, even on sunny days. Sunrise or sunset visits offer the best light and fewer crowds.
