Tre-pys-llygod

The walk up Tre-pys-llygod isn't long, but it's properly steep in places - the kind of climb that leaves you breathing hard and questioning your fitness. You're looking at a modest peak in the Conwy area, just outside Abergele, but don't let the size fool you. The views across North Wales from the top are genuinely good, especially if you catch it on a clear day when you can see right across to the coast.

It's a walk for people who like getting to a viewpoint without spending all day on the slopes. Families with older kids will manage it fine, though younger ones might struggle with the steeper bits. Allow a couple of hours there and back, depending on how long you linger at the summit. There's no visitor centre or facilities up top, so bring water and snacks - it's just you, the views, and whatever weather Wales decides to throw at you.

If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Plas Farm is closest at just over three miles away - this makes a solid morning outing before heading to the beach at Abergele or exploring further into Snowdonia. It's the kind of walk that works well as a warm-up if you're planning bigger peaks later in your holiday. Free to access, obviously. Go early if you want any peace and quiet.
