Kendrick's Cave

Great Orme, Llandudno

A cave that held rare Ice Age art carved on a horse's jaw.

In 1880 a stone polisher called Thomas Kendrick, digging out a cave on the Great Orme, found human bones and a horse's jawbone carved with zigzag patterns. It is around 13,000 years old and one of the very few pieces of Ice Age art found in Britain.
