The Great Orme

Last updated: 24 April 2008

The Great Orme near Llandudno in north Wales is one of the most visible and recognisable landmarks in the country, a huge limestone headland jutting out into the Irish Sea from the coastline.

Its terrain offers habitats for sea birds, insects and flora. The sea cliffs are home to guillemots, kittiwakes and razorbills, with little owls and ravens further inland.

One of the most impressive and interesting aspects of the Great Orme are the summer butterflies and moths

It's also home to no fewer than 17 rare species of plants and flowers.
