I always stick to the tourist path for a couple of hundred yards maximum, then branch off to the right down to the quarry. A little longer but more pleasant than a busy tourist path, and I suspect quicker on a busy day.

Having said that I absolutely love the tourist path in terms of scenery and industrial interest.
