Anyone know where this is taken (quite a lowly hill)

I wonder if it is somewhere above Conwy?

I don’t know the exact spot - but I guess somewhere near Conwy Mountain and Sychnant Pass, because the skyline left to right looks like Tal y Fan, Foel Fras and Llwytmor.

A wild guess at Foel Lus

Absolutely spot on - no wild guess at all!

Thanks Alteknacker!

Clue - this peak is part of a popular walk that also visits two other summits

On that clue I'd guess Y Lliwedd, but I'm not confident it is.

Looks very reminiscent of the cliffs along the Nantlle Ridge, but that doesn't seem to fit the clue very well....

Several good guesses, but no one has it yet.

The walk I mentioned is a circuit around a small but deep lake.

Somewhere on the Beacons Way in the vicinity of Picws Du (the lake being Llyn y Fan Fach)???

Sorry, not there either!

This summit can also form part of a long linear walk, with fine views over the sea…

The name of this peak could be translated perhaps as "Hill Hill"!
