The drive round the Great Orme's head circa 1890
The Great Orme (Welsh: Y Gogarth or Pen y Gogarth) is a prominent limestone headland on the north coast of Wales, next to the town of Llandudno. It is referred to as Cyngreawdr Fynydd in a poem by the 12th-century poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr.[1] Its English name derives from the Viking (Old Norse) word for sea serpent, which it is said to resemble.[2] Gogarth mean elm in Welsh, as Orme in Norman. It is echoed by the Little Orme, a smaller but very similar limestone headland on the eastern side of Llandudno Bay in the parish of Llanrhos.
