Little Orme Audio Trail

Join North Wales Wildlife Trust on our audio trail to discover the coastal gem of the Little Orme, a fascinating protected site that's been shaped by geology, steeped in history, and is now a haven for wildlife.

Once a Neolithic settlement and later reshaped by quarrying in the late 1800s. Starting at our Rhiwledyn nature reserve, in spring and summer enjoy the vibrant display of the limestone grassland, including delicate orchids and fluttering butterflies. Take in the breathtaking views of Llandudno, the Great Orme and out to the Irish Sea.
