🔬Exciting work from a partnership between our archaeologist, Dr. Harriet White & University of Leicester! Stone tools from our Bronze Age site are being studied for microwear—tiny marks reveal how they were used and their purpose. Big insights from tiny details! #Archaeology #BronzeAge

What a day! Making a bronze axe at the Bronze Age Great Orme Mines - living history indeed! Big thanks to Dr. James Dilley for an epic experience. All absolutely legitimate writer’s research naturally … here’s one I made earlier, with a cold one for scale

😃 We really enjoyed welcoming the Great Orme Country Park wardens to Great Orme Mines during Dr. James Dilley latest visit. There was plenty of laughs, getting hands-on with history and discovering the skills of Great Orme’s Bronze Age residents!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇦🇺 We were delighted to welcome Rowan Watt to the mines today, all the way from Australia, whose ancestor, Joseph Hobson, worked as a miner on the Great Orme in the 19th century. A wonderful connection to Great Orme Mines across time and continents!

It was heartwarming to see so many at my book reading at the mines last Friday. It was a wonderful evening! Thank you to everyone who attended. I was absolutely honoured to have Sean Parry of Sacred Knot Tattoo do some spellbinding Welsh musical performances too! Gwasg Carreg Gwalch

Tonight, we celebrated the epic launch of Serpent's Tears at the @StGeorgeHotel Penderyn Distillery direct from Llandudno Distillery! This smoky, fruity peated single malt (46% ABV) is Wales' first in over a century, inspired by the Great Orme. #SerpentsTears #WelshWhisky #LIandudno
