The cliff top cafe with a heart of gold.
A walk around the Marine Drive on the Great Orme is a fascinating experience, with a wealth of Archaeology, Geology and Biology on view. But it's a thirsty walk, and all uphill. Half way round, at the highest point, there's a great surprise in store.
Built in 1908, and there’s an apocryphal story that suggests the then owner’s somewhat dominant wife wasn’t seen after the concrete foundations were laid…
Originally, the cafe was a simple shack, but in the 1980s it was expanded to hold 16 seats, and acted as a warm and cosy shelter for the winter walkers.
In 2001 the cafe was expanded again, through EU grant aid, to house a toilet and a larger room, and in 2019 the final expansion phase saw a much larger main room and the new roof terrace created.
there is ample free parking, plenty of space inside, outside and on the roof and the best toasted teacakes to be found anywhere.
