Hiking

The Royal Artillery coastal gunnery school, 198 battery, was posted to Little Orme during the Second World War. Target practice was undertaken from the headland to anchored boats, and unspent ammunition and unexploded shells may still be encountered offshore. Gun emplacements and ancillary buildings were in situ until at least the early 1960s
Great views across the bays of llandudno and colwyn bay. on a clear day it's possible to see Ireland

Found this little viewpoint slightly off the Little Orme trail. Nice place to sit and enjoy scenery
