Located between Maesygwartha and Gilwern. The road was formerly part of Clydach Railroad, a late 18th century tramroad which connected coal and iron ore mines, limestone quarries and ironworks at the head of the Clydach Gorge with the canal at Gilwern. Wagons descended by gravity (controlled with brakes) and were hauled back up by horses.
