Mynydd Marian is a small limestone hill and Local Nature Reserve just south of Llandudno Junction in Conwy, north Wales. Its exposed limestone outcrops and disused quarries give it notable geological interest and provide a compact, elevated viewpoint with wide views over the Conwy estuary, the Great Orme and the hills of Snowdonia.
Ecologically it supports calcareous grassland habitats with wildflowers and butterflies that are uncommon on acidic soils, and the hill has a history of limestone quarrying and limeworking that shaped local industry in the 19th century. Today it is valued by walkers, naturalists and nearby communities for informal recreation, education and wildlife watching.
