Dros y gors In theory at least, a footpath runs at the side of this small stream which descends from the Ceunant road towards the boggy valley. Large, glacially-derived boulders have been turned up where the stream has been deepened for drainage.

Gate, stile and wall A magnificent wall using some of the rich harvest of glacial erratic boulders that have been dragged from the beautifully improved fields. The stile has impeccable heritage as well, since it is made from scrap narrow-gauge rail - presumably from the nearby North Wales Narrow Gauge Railway. Intriguingly, the rail is flat-bottomed and of heavier section than that typically used in the local slate quarries.

Hilltop outcrop The summit of this gentle hill comprises outcrop of the Padarn Tuff Formation, of Neoproterozoic (or Precambrian) age. The outcrop appears to be bedded, but that was difficult to portray with the light in this particular direction. A fine selection of rounded boulders of glacial origin add an attractive and contrasting geological garnish. The sea view over Caernarfon Bay is sublime.

Betws Garmon: postbox № LL54 47 This rather unusual postbox serves the straggling northern end of Betws Garmon, and I think it would be fair to describe it as not pretty (unlike its spectacular mountain backdrop). It is made of fibreglass or similar, and is really a version of the drop-box with a slot. (See by way of example <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1541610">ST8622 : Shaftesbury: postbox № SP7 2, French Mill Lane</a> for discussion on drop-boxes.)
