One thing im confused about is that there are no photos anywhere of Old Joe’s bells. They arent a secret, so I have no idea why. The closest we get to seeing them is in drone footage, they are slightly visible
@TripAndCash20219 күн бұрын
They are no “secret”. Top of the tower is a home to Peregrine Falcon family and this is a reason it is off limits. Visitors to the top are very rarely approved, but it easier to get audience with the King than be allowed to go to the very top of Old Joe.

Llandudno is my hometown (I still live nearby now) and every year at primary school we had to do a sponsored walk around the Orme. All 5 miles. Every year we stopped at the "Rest and be Thankful" cafe for an ice cream (at the 7:24 mark). You can often see seals and dolphins from the road.

Dating back 4,000 years to the Bronze Age they change our views about the ancient people of Britain and their civilized and structured society 2,000 years before the Roman invasion. Over the past 28 years mining engineers, cavers and archaeologists have been slowly uncovering more tunnels and large areas of the surface landscape to reveal what is now thought to be the largest prehistoric mine, so far discovered in the world.
