Y Fron village street
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.

Road junction, Y Fron
Y Fron is a former slate quarrying village on the western edge of Snowdonia and situated at close to the 1000ft contour. One might guess that the village enjoys copious amounts of rain as well as the occasional hill fog. On this occasion it was bright with some sunny spells.

Cilgwyn tramway
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.
