Grinllwm

The walk up Grinllwm takes you straight into proper hill country. It's not a massive peak - nothing like Snowdon - but the effort-to-reward ratio is genuinely good. From Llanrwst, you're looking at a straightforward approach that builds steadily through woodland before breaking out onto open moorland with views across the Conwy Valley.

The summit itself isn't fancy. No cairn, no crowds, just a working understanding that you've climbed something real. On a clear day you'll pick out the peaks beyond, and on a hazy one you'll at least have earned some peace and quiet. Most walkers can knock this out in two to three hours return, depending on fitness and how long you fancy lingering at the top.

It's a walker's hill rather than a tourist attraction. Families with confident youngsters will find it manageable; toddlers and casual strollers should probably give it a miss. If you're staying at Maenan Abbey Caravan Park - the closest option at just over two miles away - this is the sort of thing you'd slot in for a morning ramble before lunch.

Worth doing? Absolutely. It's the sort of fell that reminds you why people move to Wales in the first place. Not Instagram-famous, not overrun, just a decent hill that knows what it is. Pair it with other valley walks round Llanrwst and you've got a proper day sorted.
