Eroding glacial deposits, Afon Ogwen
At this point the Afon Ogwen has been engineered to make a slight drop, but it is not obvious whether that is the cause of the erosion of the thick glacial deposits which make a cliff here. I suspect that the cliff is actually a section across a drumlin running parallel to the Menai Strait which constrained the flow of ice during the last glacial maximum. A fantastic scene, with a dead tree obviously stranded during a flood in recent years. It is not obvious from the image that there are houses at the top of the bank.

A collection of erratic boulders
Locally-occurring, glacial-erratic boulders have been collected together to make a low rampart adjacent to a low weir structure in the Afon Ogwen. Deep scratches and gouge-marks indicate that they have been moved to their present position by machine, though that presented a significant task as the larger ones are 2-3 metres long and must weigh many tons. Various rock types are represented, but most are of rhyolite and sandstone suggesting an origin high in the Ogwen Valley, from where they were transported in the powerful ice-stream occupying the valley at the last glacial maximum.
