Tramfford y Gogarth | Great Orme Tramway | Llandudno
One of the most awesome tramways in Wales, connecting the seaside resort of Llandudno with the nature reserve Pen y Gogarth (Gret Orme in English) at a height of 200m above sea level. And the last surviving cable street tramway in the UK, still using the original tramcars from 1902! Fascinating. In the lower section, the tram shares its route with cars and pedestrians, notably along the narrow Old Street.
