About your journey
The journey begins at Victoria Station, a short distance from Llandudno’s seaside and pier. Climb aboard one of our beautifully restored tramcars and start your ascent through the winding roads of the Great Orme.
At the Halfway Station exhibition, you can discover the remarkable history of the Victorian engineering and observe the Tramway’s powerful funicular system in action, before changing trams.
Continue your journey to the Summit where the views are breath-taking. On a clear day, it’s possible to see as far as the Isle of Man, Blackpool and the Lake District!
Once at the Summit, disembark from your tramcar and the choice is yours: you can visit the exhibition at the Great Orme Country Park Visitor Centre, have a picnic at one of the many picnic tables, have a drink and a snack at the Summit Complex, the kids can play on the large outdoor playground or you can follow one of the many walks on the Orme. Or you can simply breathe in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings.
You may wish to visit the Orme’s amazing Bronze Age Copper Mines (only a 5 minute walk from the Tramway’s Halfway Station), explore the Iron Age Fort, stone age remains or visit the 6th century St. Tudno’s Church.
