Llwybr Llwynog (fox's path), is perhaps the most spectacular of the many paths in the quarry. A flight of 422 steps, it rises diagonally across the upper part of the quarry, linking the Garret and Braich districts. Starting at 1180ft it ends at 1480 ft at Ponc Twll Dwndwr. Although badly deteriorated, it is still passable. Do not, however, rely on the wire rope fencing. It is badly corroded, and the drops to the 'sincs' below are spectacular, to say the least.
