The Great Orme is a spectacular limestone headland standing prominently at the end of Llandudno Promenade. It is two miles long, one mile wide and rises 207 metres (679 feet) from the sea.
The geology, wildlife, archaeology and landscape is of such importance that much of the headland has been designated a Special Area of Conservation, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Heritage Coast. The wildlife of the Great Orme is very rich. The sea cliffs, limestone grassland, heath land and woodland support an enormous variety of wildflowers and invertebrates, many of which are rare and unusual.
Many walks up and over the Great Orme are signposted, and information can be found at the Summit complex; which has a café and a bar. The views are vast and very rewarding with the coast of Ireland visible on a clear day.
