Maen Amor

Standing at just over 200 metres above sea level, this rocky outcrop between Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan delivers surprisingly rewarding coastal views for relatively little effort. The name translates to 'Stone of Love' - though whether that refers to the romantic panorama across Conwy Bay or the affection walkers develop for this accessible summit is anyone's guess.

Families with older children will find the moderate climb manageable, though toddlers might struggle with the final rocky scramble. The path from Penmaenmawr starts gently enough before becoming steeper as you approach the distinctive stone formations at the top.

What makes Maen Amor worthwhile is the 360-degree vista - Anglesey stretches out to the west, while Snowdonia's peaks fill the southern horizon. On clear days, you can spot Puffin Island and the Great Orme at Llandudno. The whole trek takes about two hours return, making it perfect for a morning or afternoon excursion from any of the nearby holiday parks around Penmaenmawr.

Serious hikers might find it a bit tame, but for families wanting a proper mountain experience without the commitment of a full day's walking, this little peak delivers. Just check the weather first - those coastal winds can be fierce when they get going.
