Many of our visitors are regulars to Llandudno but it's still surprising how many of our hidden treasures they are yet to visit. A favourite of mine is the Great Orme Copper Mine.
Amazing and awe inspiring don't even come near.
It's the world's largest bronze age copper mine.
Copper to make 10 million axe heads was mined there.
No body knew it was there until the council wanted to build a car park.
I could rave on and on about it but it's possibly best to tag their website below and say next time you are in Llandudno it's a must.

They are have a website dedicated to the 'the "diggers" of the Great Orme Exploration Society Limited past and present. It is intended to highlight their "activities, discoveries and generally show off what actually holds the Great Orme up" (to quote the diggers .

There's also library there so one cna have a read and a panad (welsh for cuppa!) and if you buy any of the second hand books the money goes to fund the explorations. There's also a jewellers.!
I have visited 3 times over the past few years and am always impressed
Hope to see you soon at The Hilary
Hwyl fawr
