Forest bathing at Bryn Euryn Local Nature Reserve
A wooded limestone hill above Rhos-on-Sea, with a circular woodland walk, a hilltop fort and views over the bay.
Bryn Euryn is a small limestone hill overlooking Rhos-on-Sea, covering about 31 hectares of woodland and grassland, part of it a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It carries a lot of history for its size: a hilltop fort dating from the 6th century, and the remains of Llys Euryn, a 15th-century house, on its lower slopes. The woods wrap around the hill, so you move between shade and open grassland as you walk.
A waymarked circular walk runs through the woods, and the Summit Trail links Llys Euryn with the fort on top, where there are wide views over the coast. It is a short, varied walk rather than a long one, which makes it a good choice for an hour or two close to Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea. The limestone grassland is at its best in late spring and summer. Expect some uneven ground and short climbs.
