Sychnant Pass (Welsh: Bwlch Sychnant, "Dry-stream Pass") in Conwy County Borough, Wales, links Conwy to Penmaenmawr via Dwygyfylchi. Much of the pass is in Snowdonia National Park, and a large area of land within it has been designated a site of Special Scientific Interest. At the bottom is the village of Capelulo, which lends its name to the community of Penmaenmawr.

Tough climb from any direction.

Well worth for the stunning scenery.

A fantastic little climb that is a slightly detour road compared to the coastal path, but definitely worth it. Yes, it is steep at times, but at the top the view back over where you came and beyond the sea is worth it.

It's well worth the effort to climb to the top of the pass.
