Great Orme Copper Mine

Reviewed By Robert_Moye - Prague, Czech Republic

Great Orme Mines is the largest known Bronze Age copper mining industrial complex in the world, and affords a glimpse into, for the time, advanced mining, engineering, and metallurgical science organized at a societal level. The story of the discovery, recovery, preservation, and continued excavation and archaeological investigation of this globally significant site is as interesting and remarkable as the prehistory. Although only 200 meters of the 6 kilometers of known prehistoric underground mine passages are available for tour, this provides a glimpse into the physically and mentally demanding environment of this ancient enterprise, and the periods of Victorian Era mining that followed. The museum displays and surface tour of the site are equally fascinating and informing, and the mine personnel, many involved in the original discovery and reclamation, are wonderfully informed sources of further information.

Home Front Museum

Experience the sights and sounds of civilian life during the Second World War at this unique indoor attraction.

Reviewed By B7022LVchrisd

Popped in to pass away an hour during a rainy day in Llandudno. Great little place with lots of period items and artwork to help bring the Home Front reality alive. Especially touching was a genuine letter written by an evacuee child to their mother during their separation. Well worth a visit.

St. Tudno's Church

An ancient church on the Great Orme, overlooking the sea and surrounded by a historic churchyard. The church is sometimes confused with the 20th chapel in the adjoining Great Orme Cemetery. The church is open every day from 1 April to 31 October and weekends, Wednesdays and bank holidays the rest of the year, weather permitting. Open air services are held on Sundays at 12.00 noon from the end of May till the end of September (in the church in bad weather) and monthly services are held in the church over winter. During August Pilgrim Prayers are said at 12.00 noon Monday - Saturday; these are Celtic prayers for the 21st century. Information leaflets and booklets are available in the church. See the church website for further information and details of events.

This little church was reccomend by a friend and am I so glad I did visit. We were just lucky enough to be welcomed between weddings. Two lovely ladies in the church that let us in while clearing up. Lovely little church steeped in history. We were given a little leaflet with a brief history. A little gift shop inside. Parking is on the road, with breathtaking views. The grave yard is fantastic. A few War graves too. There is a little history trail for the kids I even managed to get a carrier bag full of pinecones for my parrot (thank you). Please pop in if you are around the Orme, well worth a look.

The Owls Trust

The best collection of owls on display to the public in the whole of Wales.

Reviewed By paintedbird79 - Mold, United Kingdom

This lovely place genuinely brought warmth to a cold, winter's day. My wife drove us here from Mold and was relatively easy to find. We had a warm welcome from Bill (and Colin the dog) and were soon in the hands of one of the more than capable and very knowledgeable and pleasant volunteers (Jo) for a proper tour of the aviaries. What a wonderful experience. One that will last a lifetime - as will my love of owls. But it isn't just owls (of which there are many different varieties!) There are other birds of prey to see and a couple of other surprises, besides. Although it might seem obvious - if you do go; please don't rattle the cages or be too noisy around the poor creatures - they are largely nocturnal and you need to respect that. Please.
