How to get here:
By Car: If visiting us by car, follow the Ancient Mine signs from Llandudno. We have free parking for mine and giftshop visitors (if you are following SATNAV, once you are on the Orme don't turn left until you see our sign at the top of our drive). Tour Bus: The Alpine Great Orme Explorer bus will bring you directly to our door. Departs from Llandudno Pier at 10am until 5pm, 7 days a week, leaving up to every 30 minutes. Present your Alpine bus ticket to our admissions desk to receive a discount on your admission to the mines. Departing from the Victoria Station on Church Walks, alight at the Halfway Station & follow road and the footpath signs marked 'Great Orme Mines' (heading in the direction of the summit) on a 5 minute walk. The mines will be on your left. Cable Car: The Cable Car departing from Happy Valley will take you to the Summit. After arriving at the summit follow the road down the hill for a 15 minute walk and the mines will be on your right. Please note that the Cable Car is weather dependent and cash only. Bus: The Arriva 26 bus leaves from opposite Wetherspoons on Gloddaeth Street. Alight the Halfway Tram Station stop, our site is a five minute stroll from there. Follow the footpath and signs for the mines. Taxi: There are also a number of taxi companies that you can call from Llandudno, including Alliance: 01492 87 87 87. On Foot: Another great option is to follow the Haulfre Gardens Summit Trail, which will bring you directly to the mines. From Haulfre Gardens follow the waymarkers marked 'To Summit'. This route will eventually bring you by our site. (Please be aware this option takes you through uphill terrain, uneven footpaths and a series of steps as you ascend the Orme).
