Rock Ahead

That large solid lump in the background is Llandudno's rock but if you bite a bit off you will not see the word 'Llandudno' written through it simply because there is insufficient room. That rock, you see is part of the Great Orme and it is full to bursting with 5 miles worth of tunnels so it is more like a Malteser than a stick of rock. This particular bit of history takes us back to the bronze age when the rock's copper deposits were exploited in order to make axes, arrowheads and all sorts of other tools, these products were exported to all parts of the known world at the time. We tend to flippantly dismiss our really ancient ancestors as animal-skin clad figures living simply in their isolated communities but they were manufacturers and traders that sold their wares widely. They were ust like us really but their salesmen didn't drive Mondeos and there were no white van delivery drivers. If you go to Llandudno you can walk through these tunnels and learn a bit about how they lived.
