Great Orme Country Park is a prominent limestone headland rising 207 meters above the Irish Sea in Llandudno. The park is home to a wild herd of Kashmiri goats, descended from a pair gifted by Queen Victoria to Lord Mostyn in the 19th century. Extensive walking trails traverse the coastal cliffs, providing views of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia. The Summit Complex hosts a cafe and the terminus for the Great Orme Tramway. The area is a designated Local Nature Reserve and Special Area of Conservation. It features Bronze Age copper mines, which were rediscovered in 1987 and are among the most significant archaeological sites in Britain. The park's terrain includes maritime grassland, heathland, and limestone pavement habitats. It serves as an important site for migratory birds and rare flora like the Cotoneaster cambricus.
