Great Orme [Y Gogarth]
Great Orme is a Marilyn, 207m high, and also counts as a HuMP. The Marilyns are hills anywhere in Britain and Ireland with at least 150 metres of prominence, whatever their height.
Llandudno is the nearest station, 1.3 mi (about 1.5 to 2 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Llandudno it's about 1 hour to the summit, 1 in 11 on average. Deganwy is next, 2.7 mi (about 3.5 to 4 mi on foot), and 9 stations are within 10 miles in all.
The Great Orme is a limestone headland on the north coast of Wales, north-west of the town of Llandudno. Referred to as Cyngreawdr Fynydd by the 12th-century poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr, its English name derives from the Old Norse word for sea serpent. The Little Orme, a smaller but very similar limestone headland, is on the eastern side of Llandudno Bay. The headland is a tourist attraction, with a Victorian tramway, a cableway, walking routes and a mining museum.
