St Tudno's Church, Great Orme. In the sixth

overlooking the sea, and Christians have worshiped at the site
ever since. The present church building dates back to the 12th
century but was enlarged in the 15th century and restored in the
19th century. Open air services are held every Sunday throughout
the summer and times of additional services, including a
celebration of St. Tudno’s day on 5th June, are shown on the
church notice board. Open air services at 11.00 am every Sunday
