Category Description
The Great Orme Tramway is Britain's only remaining cable operated street tramway and one of only three surviving in the world. The line is in two sections and passengers change cars at the Halfway Station. The lower section has a maximum grade of 1 in 4 and climbs 400 feet in about half-a-mile. It was opened for passengers on July 31st 1902. The upper section, opened in 1903, is less steep and climbs 150 feet in about the same distance to its terminus near the Summit Complex.
The tramway is situated on the Great Orme, a mountain by the town of Llandudno in the County of Conwy in Wales.
