	View of the Great Orme, a Bronze Age copper mine. It was mined 4,000 years ago.
	Hard hats on and ready to go into the mining passages. The Great Orme is the only Bronze Age mine open to the public.
	Looking towards the exit of the mine passageway.
	Last minute information before entering the mine.
	Inside the mine.
	Modern tool marks made when opening up the mine passageways so visitors wouldn't have to crawl.
	The passageways were very narrow and it must have been very dark for the miners without the convenience of electric lights.
	See next picture for explanation.
	This cute cave man appeared often throughout the mine.
	Back out into daylight. Or rain rather.
	Jennifer at the Great Orme.
	The Archaeomaterials Postgrads with Barbara (minus Emmanouela who was taking the picture).
	View of the Great Orme Mines from the other side. The mines were very extensive and we only saw about 1% of them.
	Another view of the prehistoric landscape.
	Emmanouela, Jennifer, and Nerantzis with the Irish Sea in the background.
	Translated this means the "Roman Well", although it was probably there before Roman times.

On the way back to Sheffield, we stopped at Conwy Castle in Conwy, Wales. It was built between 1283 and 1289.

	A view of Conwy Castle. Modern day roads now go through the castle.
	The castle at dusk.
	That's the Welsh flag flying up there. Trust me.
	Another view of the castle. It's a very large castle.
	The moderized drawbridge.
