Bwrdd Arthur

Round Table Hill translates rather grandly from the Welsh, but don't expect Arthurian splendour from this modest Anglesey peak. At just 164 metres, it's hardly a mountain, more a proper hill walk that rewards you with cracking views across the Menai Strait towards Snowdonia. The climb from Beaumaris takes about 45 minutes up a well-worn but sometimes muddy path.

Families with reasonably fit children will manage this one easily enough, though toddlers might struggle with the steeper sections near the top. The views are the real draw - on a clear day you can see right across to the mainland peaks, with Beaumaris Castle looking rather toy-like below. Worth bringing a flask for the summit.

Best tackled in the morning when the light hits the mountains properly. The path can get boggy after rain, so decent walking boots are wise. It's free, obviously, being a hill, and you could easily combine it with a wander around Beaumaris afterwards.

If you're staying at one of the nearby parks like Wonderfully Wild or Plas Yn Llangoed, this makes a decent half-day outing. Nothing too strenuous, but satisfying enough to justify a proper pub lunch afterwards. The sort of walk that proves Anglesey has more to offer than just beaches.
