Mynydd Rhiw is a very pleasant 304m summit just to the north of Plas yn Rhiw National Trust manor house. The area is rich in archaeological sites and is a very tranquil place to go and hike. Mynydd Rhiw is also listed as a UK Marilyn.

Hiking

Watch out for overgrown bracken and fern on public footpath but apart from that great hike.

Hiking

Mynydd Rhiw is a wonderfully scenic hike. It's not overly long or strenuous if you set off from the Penmynydd panorama carpark.
Walking up through the purple heather lined public footpath with the coast of the peninsula either side of you makes for a picturesque stroll then reaching the summit unlocks views far and wide.
