238 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1883 



Aug. 14. A very wet day, but, nevertheless, had a long drive. 

 Saw a curious small Calvary cross and some interesting inscribed 

 stones, and very beautiful country. 



Aug. 15. Very wet in the early part of the day ; unfortunately, 

 through the very beautiful Gwaen valley. Afterwards very fine, 

 and through a most interesting country. We especially visited the 

 grand Pentre Evan cromlech. 



Aug. 16. A fine day, with some sea-haze. The most interesting 

 place was Gam Fawr, a fine fort of the Penmaenmawr type. It 

 has three walls, and lots of hut-circles. The entrance is very well 

 defined. 



Aug. 17. To St. Davids, to visit the Dean. Saw fine cromlech 

 by the way, and beautiful sea-coast near Longhouse ; by Aber Castle, 

 where Mr. Marychurch kindly entertained us. The whole party 

 visited the Cathedral, under the guidance of the Dean. 



Aug. 18. "Walked to Whitsand Bay, and also revisited the little 

 fort formerly described by me. 



Aug. 19. Sunday. St. Davids. Very nice services in the Cathe- 

 dral, and early communion. In the evening we took a walk to the 

 beautiful coast between the Nuns' Chapel and Porth-clais. 



Aug. 20. The Dean drove us to the coast opposite to Kamsey 

 Island, and to Caerfai. 



Aug. 21. We left St. Davids, and went to the Hotel at Neyland, 

 spending the evening at Burton with Mr. and Mrs. Tombs. The 

 church there is a most interesting example of a fortified one. . . . 

 We both went and returned by water. 



Aug. 23. To Gloucester. 



Atig. 24. Visited the Cathedral and other places in the morning. 



Aug. 25. To Launceston. 



A^lg. 28. Drove to Tintagel, over Laneast Down, seeing the 

 birthplace of Professor Adams in the valley below. A beautiful 

 drive. 



Aug. 29. To Boscastle, to see the curious little harbour. 



Aug. 30. To Trebarwith Strand. 



Aug. 31. To Truro. Much pleased with the museum of the 

 Koyal Institution. 



Sept. 1. We left Truro in heavy rain, which continued all day. 

 The rail took us as far as Penryn, thence drove to our cottage at 

 Cadgwith Cove, on the hill side just over the sea. This has been 

 one of the severest storms for some years. Barometer 28*68. 



Sept. 2. Sunday. An exceedingly stormy and wet day, but with 

 a rising barometer.
