This disused quarry on the south-western slopes of The Glog lies beside the A483, just before the sharp loop in the road and the climb up to Gwynant, if travelling south from Newtown and Dolfor. The rock face exhibits interesting folding and faulting, and people travelling by car etc can view the quarry by parking in the conveniently placed lay-by.
