See my log of this one's big brother. A walk along the Prom featured another Trig Point Which Never Seems To Get Any Nearer. Followed by a walk along an increasingly busy main road (past some interesting domestic architecture), before we reached the (second - unlocked) gate into the Nature Reserve. A short walk to the top resisting the urge to do some limestone scrambling due to my inappropriate footwear. Fantastic views today and, maybe it was the weather, but far more birds than we saw at the Bird Zoo in Conwy yesterday

Well this has only been waiting on the really want to do for a few years and an unexpectedly complex and beautiful spot. Wild woods, returned to nature quarries and young cormorants being given flying lessons over the glowing limestoneand grassland nobbly hills. The sea almost purple, a haze of England and Yns Mon, the Great Orme glowing, the Carneddau somber as ever, the Clywydian like a grand peninsula with the distant peaks of Southern Snowdonia betwixt.

Day 3 and 4th trig of my stay in Llandudno. Walked along the bay from Llanddud on what turned out to be the hottest day on record in Wales. After 10 minutes of uphill walking towards the trig I was lathered in sweat. The views all round nade it worthwhile, panoramic, especially of GreatOrme. On to Bryn Euryn.

A walk along sea front from the Merrion Hotel in Llandudno. As the road ascends past the Pub (Premier Inn) on the right I arrived at a kissing gate and followed the path up. Turned left into a valley and approached from the west side and a scramble up a grassy bank to the summit. It must be one of the best trigs I have ever visited. Views outstanding, and solitude was much appreciated.

Very nice weather and perfect for the views
Arguably the best trig yet...

Walked from Great Orme and storm Barra still battering the coastline. Ascent was140m, but got off asap. Many paths lead to to the pillar and the headland doesn't have the "furnishings" that GOH displayed. Hotel/break deals are good at this time of year and I returned to Llanberis. Bargain. Pillar dedicated to unbelievable breaks.

With S & C. Parked in Aber Drive, Llandudno then walked along to the footpath. Instead of taking the proper wooden gate we jumped a locked metal one - wasted effort. Generally followed path up to summit. Quite steep in parts. Excellent views from the top including Great Orme and Anglesey.

Quick dash up from a parking spot on Bodafon Rd, apparently Premier Inn car park is usual place folks park for a quick up and down; would have been better to allow more time, especially if weather fine, as it was today. Lovely panoramic views. Pillar sits on concrete plinth and has reasonably fresh coat of white paint. Cap missing, asphalt plug; RHD side sight hole open.

Had visited Llandudno many times and was always curious about the Little Orme so now that I've started trig bagging that was even more incentive to check it out - lovely to see a different view across the town.

I was a bit cheeky here and left my car in the Premier Inn car park at N53° 19.388’ W003° 47.150’ but I did enjoy a cup of good coffee there when I returned. I walked a 100 yards or so up the road to the start of the footpath, then followed the path as far as the kissing gate before striking off up the hill, following the animal trails. The pillar is in generally good condition but the plug has been replaced with an asphalt filler. Someone has ‘attacked’ both the spider and the flush bracket with a hammer and a set of letter punches, leaving strange messages in the metalwork. I suppose that’s marginally better than attacking it with a hammer and cold chisel. The views are probably better than those at the nearby Great Ormes Head pillar.

Staying in Llandudno after doing the Snowdon Horseshoe yesterday. Up early for the walk to the trigpoint before breakfast. Great morning with blue skies and no wind. Agree with redDragon much better than Great Ormes Head. Lovely views back to Snowdonia and into the bay. Llandudno council should be complimented on their efforts to invigorate the town everything looks very smart and litter and graffiti free. Just a pity that it’s not got more visitors – hope things improve.

I prefered here to the Great Orme, which I was on earlier. Its quieter and the views are probably better. I started on the footpath from the road, but climbed straight up along the ridge. Not too steep.

I’ve been up here many times before and as usual this day was not a disappointment. I’d already been up to Bryn Euryn trig pillar and had rushed around Bryn Pydew and Penrhynside to get here. The top was nice and quiet so I was able to enjoy the views of the North Wales coast in peace. The North Wales Path runs just below here and there are also very nice waymarkers for the proposed Wales Coast Path in place now. This would be an amazing long distance walk and I hope that plenty people take up the challenge.

The pillar stands on the summit of a headland to the east of Llandudno. The trig has an asphalt plug and FB S7323. Its ironwork has various neatly scratched or stamped graffiti. The headland was accessed from the end of the suburban street of Penrhyn Beach East. The trig was reached mostly by public paths. The summit has a fantastic view of the North Wales coast from Anglesey, Puffin Island and the Great Orme in the west to the distant resorts and the end of the Clwydian Range in the east. In the far distant the coast of Lancashire could just be discerned. The peaks of Snowdonia could be seen to the south west and broad moorland hills to the south. The Rhiwledyn Nature Reserve occupies part of the headland and the pillar is within the Creigiau Rhiwledyn/ Little Ormes Head SSSI. I was accompanied by bird song throughout my walk and I found the old quarry workings particularly impressive.

Asphalt plug. Public. The Little Orme is not Access Land, but there is a public footpath from the North Wales Path up to the top of the headland & trig. For safety reasons, keep to footpaths on the steep headland. Taken in as part of walk along North Wales Path from Llandudno to Penrhyn Bay. Trig stands above North Wales Wildlife Trust's Rhiwledyn Reserve & is clearly visible from Llandudno promenade.
