The great Orme is a limestone head of land sticking out into the sea to the left of the bay of Llandudno. On the opposite site of the bay is a similar piece of land called the little Orme. The great Orme has a two stage tramway to the Summit. At the summit there is a small visitor centre and a leisure complex. You can park on the summit or choose to explore it on foot by footpath. But be careful there are some sharp drops into the sea. The tram starts just a little walk uphill from the front. Liquid refreshment can be found in the nearby Kings Head Pub.
