GOGARTH MANORThe medieval parish of Llandudno comprised three townships, each established on the lower slopes of the Great Orme. The township of Y Gogarth at the south-western\''corner'' of the Great Orme was latterly the smallest but it contained the the palace of the Bishop of Bangor.
The Manor of Gogarth (which included all three townships) had been bestowed on Anain, Bishop of Bangor by King Edward I in 1284, in recognition of services rendered to the crown, notably the baptism of the first English Prince of Wales, newly born at Caernarfon
The significant agricultural yet north facing township of Cyngreawdr includes the original parish church and rectory of St Tudno.
Following the Owain Glyndwr uprising, the villagers of the Creuddyn peninsular were harshly taxed and by 1507 they had nearly all fled their homes. Henceforth the cultivated land lay vacant, and is now grazed by sheep and goats.\
The third township was Yn Wyddfid clustered below the Iron Age hill fort of Pen-y-Dinas at the north eastern corner of the Great Orme. With the reopening of the copper mines from the 18th century onwards, this township grew considerably in size with the streets and cottages of the mining village laid out on the largely abandoned agricultural holdings
'THE GREAT ORME WELLS; Natural wells were greatly prized in limestone districts and the Great Orme was no exception. Water was required for copper mining purposes as well as for domestic and agricultural use. The following Great Orme wells are known and most still supply running water: FFYNNON LLYGAID - (Eye well) possibly one of the wells supplying the needs of the once populous Gogarth community before much of it was lost to coastal erosion.; FFYNNON GOGARTH - The main water source for Gogarth and in the later 18th and early 19th centuries the power source to operate the famous ''Tom &Gerry'' engine that, through a long series of Brammock rods, powered the mine water pumps at the higher shaft near the summit above Pyllau.; FFYNNON POWEL - One of the water supplies, together with Ffynnon Tudno and Ffynnon Rhufeinig serving the medieval farming community of Cyngreawdr; FFYNNON GALCHOG - This well, near Mynydd Isaf, to the north of Pen-y-Dinas, is a source of lime-rich water known for its petrifying qualities, it is one of two wells known to have been used in the washing of copper ores.; FFYNNON TUDNO - Situated beyond the road, near the north-east corner of St Tudnos church, Ffynnon Tudno was, together with Ffynnon Rhufeinig, a principal source of water for the community settled round the church; FFYNNON RHUFEINIG - (Roman well) It takes its name from the tradition that Roman copper miners used its waters to wash the copper ores mined nearby.; FFYNNON LLECH - A spring of water located in Ogof Llech, a cave on the headland very difficult to access and claimed to have been used as a hermitage by St Tudno; FFYNNON GASEG - (Mares well) This spring was revealed, at the side of the road, about half way round and near the highest point (and where it can still be seen just passed the''Rest & be thankful caf''), during the construction of the Marine Drive in the 19th century. It was thus ideally situated to refresh the horses on that five mile carrige drive round the base of the Great Orme
