Mariandyrys offers magnificent views of the mountains of Eryi and Traeth Lavan. At various times, there are blue carpets of spring squills and a beautiful show of the white or pale pink flowers of common spotted orchid, the purple saw-wort and the yellow common rockrose. The abundant wildflowers provide opportunities for butterflies and their caterpillars to feed
