From the edge of a Welsh Water compound http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4409417 at a height of 235 metres (770 ft) above sea level (ASL). This is a small part of a long steep descent from the lowest part of Penrhys at 285 metres (935 ft) ASL to Ystrad at 170 metres (560 ft) ASL. A sign at the top of the descent shows a 12% gradient (between 1 in 8 and 1 in 9). Another sign tells motor vehicle drivers to stay in low gear for 1 mile.
