It initially flows in a north-easterly direction towards Welsh: Blaenau Dolwyddelan|italic=no, where Welsh: Ceunant Ty'n y Ddol|italic=no joins it, then flows under the Roman Bridge (Welsh: Pont-y-Sarn-Ddu) and past Welsh: [[Dolwyddelan]]|italic=no, where Welsh: Afon Penamnen|italic=no joins it.

This line has stations in the Welsh: Lledr|italic=no Valley at Roman Bridge, Welsh: [[Dolwyddelan railway station|Dolwyddelan]]|italic=no, and Welsh: [[Pont-y-Pant railway station|Pont-y-Pant]]|italic=no.
