    Tips

    Hiking

    While the hills above Bwlch Sychnant are not high by Eryri's standards, their steepness lends the pass a drama all of its own. This is the most northerly mountain pass in the national park, connecting Conwy to Penmaenmawr. A clutch of summits can be ascended from the road, including Alltwen, Penmaen-bach and Mynydd y Dref (Conwy Mountain). Each provide excellent views towards Great Orme and south towards the high Carneddau.
