Not necessary to be the highest, but the best it can be ....

 

The view is looking out across Conwy Bay to the Isle of Anglesey.

At it's furthest point east in this photo is Penmon Point - an ancient holy site with the remains of the 6th century priory, St Sieriol's well, a church, Trwyn Du lighthouse, an impressive dovecote and a superb view across the water to Puffin Island and mainland Wales.

 

According to legend, Seiriol and Saint Cybi were good friends and would meet weekly near Llanerchymedd, at the Clorach wells. Saint Cybi would walk from Holyhead, facing the rising sun in the morning and setting sun in the evening. Saint Cybi was known as Cybi Felyn (Cybi the Tanned), as he was tanned during his journey. Seiriol, travelling in the opposite direction, from Penmon, would have his back to the sun.Thus, he was known as Seiriol Wyn (Seiriol the Fair). -
