Footpath and Carn Fadryn A footpath runs in a northwesterly direction over the common, leading down to the unclassified road in the valley. It appears as if another track leads to Nanhoron Quarry <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1857842">SH2832 : Nanhoron Quarry</a> but this is an illusion since another, deep valley intervenes.
