This put-in on the Afon Llugwy is accessed via a forestry path leading down from the A5, arriving at an old abandoned stone building beside the river.

From here, paddlers launch into continuous whitewater boulder gardens that build progressively over the first kilometre, beginning at grade 2 before steepening into grade 3 and culminating at Bench Falls, a grade 4 rapid featuring a river-wide ledge that can form a significant hole at higher flows.

The section is considered a classic North Wales run.
