Bryn Euryn, Limestone hill and nature reserve in Rhos-on-Sea, Wales.
Bryn Euryn is a limestone hill and nature reserve near Rhos-on-Sea in Wales featuring mixed habitats. The site contains grassland and woodland areas that support various rare plants and butterfly populations.
A limestone wall from the 6th century was uncovered during excavations in 1997, indicating an early hilltop settlement. This fortification may have connections to Cynlas the Red, a figure from ancient Welsh history.
The name Bryn Euryn means 'beautiful hill' in Welsh, reflecting local attachment to this elevated landscape. Visitors encounter remnants of Llys Euryn, an ancient residential structure woven into the terrain.
The site has parking areas and marked trails that run through woods and grassland, making walking straightforward. These paths allow for comfortable nature watching and exploration across the terrain.
During World War II, this hilltop served as one of Britain's first radar installations for detecting approaching German aircraft. Few traces of this wartime role remain visible today, though some markers occasionally reference this chapter.
