In 1987, the local council here in Llandudno was putting in a parking lot on the Great Orme and they discovered that it was the site of some ancient mining. It is now known as the worlds largest Bronze Age mine in the world! http://www.greatormemines.info/ We have never been into the mine, so we paid for a family ticket and went in. We were surprised to learn that dogs were invited to come along too, so we brought Bentley from the car to join us on the self-directed tour.
Then we went on up to the top of the Orme and poked around looking for fossils. We brought safety goggles, hammers and chisels for the occasion and it was great.
It was a chilly but dry day and it was great to be up high in Llandudno.
