This fine and popular track is the course of the tramway linking Cilgwyn Quarries to the later, northerly tip which was mandated by shortage of space on the hillside to the west and south of the quarries. The line executed a fine horseshoe curve as it rose on a gentle incline towards the north side of the road to Carmel. The village of Fron spreads across the hill in the background.
