Y Fron is a linear village with houses lining this road and one other. The road here was once shared with a tramway carrying slate from nearby quarries, eventually meeting a railway line for transport to Caernarfon dock. There's a primary school here [hidden to the right of the parked cars], a bus service [note the green shelter], but I failed to see a shop. The background is dominated by the bulky shape of Mynydd Mawr.
