The Great Orme

[Fester]

I have been round The Orme twice today, without a permit, for FREE!

Well, I live nearer to the road near the half-way station than I do to the Toll House.

Ah!  I forgot to mention residents of the Orme!

I doubt if they would allow a copy, there is a hologram on it too I think. I think they told me in the past that we could not take two cars round at the same time.

[Bri Roberts]

Thanks ME.

I have just taken a closer look and I have now seen the hologram.

I am surprised CCBC do not provide an accompanying leaflet with the Permit providing all the necessary additional information to assist residents.

I truly would have had no idea about parking on the summit had it not been mentioned on our Forum.

I think it was here that I heard about the permit in the first place.

Hello everyone

Oddly, although I live quite a long way away I was in Llandudno today! Didn't go up the Orme today though, although I usually do.

I'm a bit confused. Where is this new road sign? Is it well before the zig zags? And how can the Council collect toll money without a booth?

Very confusing.

Take care, everyone

Can anyone explain this sign on Marine Drive? what and where is 'Tonnau' ?

[Yorkie]

It is a Freehold property on Marine Drive.  Can be found on a search of Zoopla, the property web site.

OK, perhaps it is the property being built right by the sign? I ask as today way past the sign I saw a car coming the wrong way, he said about the sign that I showed on here!

It's also that time of year...  Some don't read signs, some are incapable of reading signs, some are on holiday so don't think signs apply to them and some just try it on.

When I worked for CCBC, Marine Drive was part of my responsibility, and I drove the toll road almost every day.  Vehicles coming the wrong way was not unusual and some drivers got quite upset when I made them turn round or reverse a few hundred yards! 

One problem that was highlighted to me, was that some drivers just followed cyclists who constantly went against the correct traffic direction.

One of the worst offenders was someone from the Lighthouse who regularly went the wrong way from the Lighthouse to the Zig- zag Road up to the Halfway Tram Station.   I hasten to add it was NOT the present Lighthouse occupants. 

The traffic flow is not policed and no legal remedy (as far as I know) is available as it is a private road.    ZXZ

Just as well the rest and be thankfully hasent got an alcohol licence (as far as I know). Imagine driving from there under the influence down to the west shore toll house and then leaving the car behind

It must have changed it's name from Swn Y Mor as the old cottage was the only residence past the no entry sign (apart from the Lighthouse )

A coach missed the No Entry signs last year and ended up in a rather panicky state, attempting a three point turn to get back to West Shore.
