Great Orme Summit Complex
You can't visit the Great Orme Country Park without taking a look around the Summit Complex.

Built earlier this century as a nine bedroom hotel adjoining an 18-hole golf course, the Summit Complex has had several owners, a big fire and many face changes since its grand beginnings. Including Randolph Turpins Bar which has been dedicated to the previous owner.

Conwy

Bronze Age copper mines, flint arrow head and axe head factories, stone circles and megalithic burial chambers.

In Spring too, you can watch the salmon leap in a rushing river or maybe take a stroll through the lush forests, loud with bird song and carpeted with bluebells, or discover a silent lake, high up in the mountains where the distant bleat of a lamb echoes across the lake.

There are wonderful walks and secluded picnic spots to discover in Summer and in Autumn, the changing colours are simply breathtaking.The summit of Snowdonia can be reached by train, one of several small trains that run in North Wales.
