Great Orme Tramway

The tram ride makes the climb part of the outing, rising from narrow town streets towards open headland. Change cars at Halfway and look at how the cable system works before continuing towards the summit. Allow time above the town to enjoy the landscape, without assuming that a long summit walk must follow the journey.
