4 BEDDGELF.RT TO HARLECH. 



On the other fide of the vale (lands the church 

 of Maentwrog, The Stone of Twrog, fo denominated 

 from a large flone in the church-yard, at the north- 

 weft corner of the church. Twrog was a Britifh 

 faint, who lived about the year 6io, and was the 

 ivriter of Tiboeth, a romantic record belonging to 

 St. Bueno, that was formerly kept in the church of 

 Clynog in Caernarvonfliire. — Dr. Ednmnd Prys, 

 archdeacon of Merioneth, who attained confiderable 

 celebrity as a Vv'^chli poet, was reclor of this place, 

 and is faid to have been buried here. I fearched 

 both the church and church-yard in vain for fomc 

 memorial of him, and in my hopes of obtaining 

 intelligence refpecting him from the inhabitants I 

 was alfo difappointed. 



I left Maentv.Tog, and inquiring the road to Har- 

 lech, proceeded on ray journey. At the diftance 

 of about half a mile, I crolfed a fmall bridge. From 

 hence, leaving the road for a while, I wandered 

 along a foot-path up a wooded valley, for about a 

 mile and a half, in fearch of a 



Waterfall 



That had been defcribed to me, called Rhaiadr Du, 

 The Black Catarad. It was not without fome dif- 

 ficulty, and after much trouble in afcending and 

 defcending the fides of the hills, that I found it. 

 In this cataraft, which is furrounded with dark 

 and impending fcenery, the water is thrown with 

 vaft impetuofity over thi'ee black and fmooth rocks, 



each.
