Woke up to a very light drizzle. No matter, we took the umbrella and set off. We walked around to the bottom station for the cable car that we hoped would take us up to the Great Orme (click here). Bad luck, it wasn’t running, too windy up top and we were told that we wouldn’t be able to see anything anyway. Some great views from here anyway.
We then went to see the “Home Front Experience”, in a private museum, a great display. We were distracted when we dropped into the Wetherspoon pub (was the old Palladium cinema, built in 1920) to have a look at the art deco inside.Still has the dress circles and private boxes. Very good, cheap coffee.
By now, the weather was improving, so we decided to take the cable tram to the top of the Great Orme. It was still too windy for the cable car to run. We’ve been up on the tram previously but it was good fun doing it again. Pretty good views.
There is a scenic toll road that hugs the cliffs of the Great Orme, so it seemed like a good idea to drive along it. It’s 4 miles of great views.
Saw a huge wind farm off shore The second biggest offshore wind farm in the world cost £2bn, has 160 turbines, is eight miles (13km) off Llandudno and is so impressive with all of the elegant, slow turning turbines.
Back “home” now, to eat early so we see a Welsh Male Choir in the church just around the corner.
Hope Gill got her tooth sorted.
