This new lookout station became operational in August 2019. It is housed in one of the NCI’s trailer mounted mobile stations.
NCI Great Orme welcomes anyone interested in the work of the NCI and in joining our Station to become a qualified Watchkeeper. If you would like to know more then email Tim, our Station Secretary at [email protected]
Visitor Policy
Visitors are most welcome at the lookout although, when an incident is ongoing, this may not always be convenient and the duty watchkeeper may ask visitors to call back later. Please bear in mnd that this is a small lookout, so we cannot have more than two visitors inside at a time.
