Entrance to the lighthouse along Marine Drive
The lighthouse is a square, castellated two-storey building situated on the limestone cliffs of Great Orme's Head, 99 metres (325 feet) above sea level. The lighthouse was erected by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board in 1862. It shone for the last time on 22 March 1985 having been made redundant by radar.
It has now been converted into a bed and breakfast.
Marine Drive is a five mile toll road on Great Orme's Head, the first three and a half miles are one way traffic only.

Wales Coast Path
The Wales Coast Path (Welsh: Llwybr Arfordir Cymru) is a long distance footpath which follows the whole of the coastline of Wales. It opened on 5 May 2012, and offers a 870 mile long route from Chepstow in the south to Queensferry in the north.
Wales is the first country in the world to provide a dedicated footpath along its entire coastline. The Path runs through eleven National Nature Reserves and other nature reserves, including those managed by The Wildlife Trusts or Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
