It’s not Great Orme’s height that’s impressive, especially given that it’s a mere 679 feet (207 m) compared to the towering peaks of nearby Snowdonia. Instead, it’s the hill’s location …

The Great Orme is a beautiful little spot and makes for a great walk from the town below up to the headland. Great views across towards Anglesey and the foothills of the Carneddau range.

However you get to the top, car, hike, cable car, the summit is somewhere for all, with a cafe, an information centre, good views, a shop, and even a crazy golf course.

Luckily we let Komoot plan our tour. Between the streets and paths, the paths in the countryside are barely visible. So we had a nice hike through the moor, through the herds of sheep and we also met the wild Cashmere goats.
We wanted to have a picnic on a stone in the countryside, but were immediately approached by seagulls. Packed up immediately. Further ahead there was a rest area with tables where we could eat undisturbed.
The descent on the west side was not entirely without problems. Steep and very dry, it's easy to slip. At best, it's better to walk on the grass.
