Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, head towards the Great Orme using the A470 road. Once you reach Llandudno, follow the signs for the Great Orme, which will direct you onto the A4151. As you approach the Great Orme, you will see the road winding up the hill; follow this route until you reach the summit. Parking is available at the top, but be aware that parking fees may apply, typically around £2 to £4 for a few hours.

• Public Transportation

  If you're using public transport, you can take the Arriva bus service (Route 19 or 20) from Llandudno town center towards the Great Orme. The bus stop for the Great Orme is clearly marked, and you will need to pay a fare of around £2.50 for a one-way trip. The bus will take you along the scenic route, and you will be dropped off close to the entrance of the Great Orme. From there, follow the signs to walk to the summit.

• Walking

  For those who enjoy walking, you can start from Llandudno's promenade. Head west along the promenade, and when you reach the end, follow the path that leads towards the Great Orme. It’s a steep uphill walk, so be prepared for a workout! The walk can take approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your pace. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, and bring water to stay hydrated.
