It commands sweeping views of Conwy Bay, and the mountains of Snowdonia. Designated a national nature reserve both for its biological and geological interest, it contains a mosaic of flower-rich grassland, and fragments of limestone pavement. There is evidence of past human activity and old copper mines scattered throughout the site.
