The Great Orme Copper Mines.

A visit to the Great Orme Mines is both an enjoyable and educational experience which can be enjoyed by children and adults of all ages. Walking through the tunnels mined over 3,500 years ago gives visitors a feel for the harsh conditions our prehistoric ancestors faced in their search for copper. The highlight of the tour is the amazing Bronze Age Cavern, dug out over 3.500 years ago by miners using nothing more than stone and bone tools. www.greatormemines.info

The Cable Car …

From the Happy Valley to the Great Orme Summit is over 1 mile each way, the longest Aerial Cabin Lift in the United Kingdom. It was built in 1969 and fully refurbished in 2006 and many of it’s magnificent views can only be seen as the cabin glides almost silently through the air. www.greatorme.org.uk
