The Milestone is located in roadside wall that is painted white on the West of the road.  Parish of Llanberis (Gwynedd District), erected in the 19th Century, edge chips . Inscription reads:- C. CURIG / 11M 5½F / CARNARVON / 6M Milestone Society National ID: CAE_CVCC06

Various public footpaths are marked above the minor road from Llanberis to Llanrug which lies among old slate quarries well above the main road. Their advantage lies in the slight possibility of finding somewhere to park without requiring a second mortgage, but their disadvantage is that signage indicates a strong desire by "the authorities" that you don't use them. This one seems to alternate between being easy to follow and being totally opaque and overgrown, but the correct route lies over a stile with a fierce "Keep out" sign which has to be ignored. Looking east from about that point, we are level with a horizon of waste slate above the Afon Glyn, with views just about discernible across Llyn Padarn to even bigger slate workings below Elidir Fach (whose summit is lost in the cloud).

These are some of the oldest rocks in Wales. Moel Eilio forms the background.

The walls are the work of early 18thC quarrymen-farmers who carved small holdings from the wastes. This dual economy remained a feature of the slate quarrying districts of Caernarvonshire until the 1960s/

The A4086 runs for almost 18 miles between Caernarfon and Capel Curig. It is a popular tourist route as it passes through some of the most memorable and famous parts of Snowdonia including the Llanberis Pass.

The A4244 is a relatively short (6½ miles) rural A-road in north Caernarfonshire. It connects the A5/A55 (near the Llys-y-gwynt junction) with the A4086 at Brynrefail, just outside Llanberis.

This is a most colourful part of the street.
