This simple orientation table is located in a small lookout just off Marine Drive.
Marine Drive is a privately maintained toll-road which circles The Great Orme in Llandudno. There is a toll for vehicles but the road can be walked for free.
The table stands at the front of the lookout close to a shelter built to the memory of Blair Cow, who was killed walking in the mountains when he was just 16.
The direction of the following locations are shown on the table.
CONWAY* CASTLE
TAL-Y-FAN MT
PENMAENMAWR
LLANFAIRFECHAN
BANGOR
MENAI STRAITS
BEAUMARIS
PUFFIN ISLAND
* Spelt in the old defunct anglicised way, which would indicated that the table is quite old.
There are some spectacular views of Snowdonia and Anglesey from the table and the shelter is a good place to rest before continuing on the walk around the Orme.
Location / Access:
The table is located near a small memorial shelter off Marine Drive on The Great Orme in Llandudno. Access is recommended on foot as there is no stopping on the toll-road for vehicles.
