Great Orme Bronze Age Mines is a museum attraction in Llandudno, Conwy, where you can follow a self-guided tour taking around 45 minutes. It includes a visitor centre, a short introductory film, a 200 metre underground section across two levels, and a surface walk around the smelting shelter and opencast mine, finishing at the gift shop. Discovered in 1987, the mines date back 4,000 years and are thought to be the largest prehistoric mine found anywhere in the world. It suits curious visitors of all ages, though wheelchairs and pushchairs aren't suitable underground, and warm clothing and sensible footwear are recommended. There's a car park on site, and with Llandudno station 1.1 miles away and 166 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with a stay nearby.
