This really is a hidden gem. We have been frequenting this pub throughout the summer since Mark has refurbished the pub.. we absolutely love what he has done to the garden making it very Mediterranean, with outside log burner. The inside is very rustic and very clean. The pizzas are to die for they are cooked on a Woodfired pizza oven best we have ever had and reasonably priced. I would highly recommended this pub suitable for any age. Welcome dogs.

6. Great Orme Copper Mine

Reviewed By Robert_Moye - Prague, Czech Republic
Great Orme Mines is the largest known Bronze Age copper mining industrial complex in the world, and affords a glimpse into, for the time, advanced mining, engineering, and metallurgical science organized at a societal level. The story of the discovery, recovery, preservation, and continued excavation and archaeological investigation of this globally significant site is as interesting and remarkable as the prehistory. Although only 200 meters of the 6 kilometers of known prehistoric underground mine passages are available for tour, this provides a glimpse into the physically and mentally demanding environment of this ancient enterprise, and the periods of Victorian Era mining that followed. The museum displays and surface tour of the site are equally fascinating and informing, and the mine personnel, many involved in the original discovery and reclamation, are wonderfully informed sources of further information.
