Y ffordd sy'n arwain at hen gwar Crumlin. Fe'i henwyd ar ol y nant gerllaw. Rhwng 1905 a 1909 aethpwyd â cherrig o'r cwar i adeiladu Doc y Brenin yn Abertawe. Mae nifer o lwybrau dymunol wedi eu creu o amgylch y cwar. The old access road leading to the former Crymlyn Quarry. The site was named after Crumlin - a nearby stream meaning curved pool. Between 1905 and 1909 stone from the quarry was used in the construction of the King's Dock, Swansea. Several paths have been created around the old quarry.
