rounding rocks, whilfl in others the eye wanders 

 over a vaft expanfe of mountains. On one ele- 

 vation I obferved no fewer than fix ranges of 

 mountain, one above another, the uppermoft at a 

 great diilance. I paiTed on the left two confpicuous 

 and conical fummits called Moelwyn. This road 

 is on the whole fo exceedingly good, as to render it 

 paiTable in carriages with great pleafure, for the 

 country nearly all the way is very interefting. 



Tanybwlch, 



Below the Pnfs, fo called from its being fituated on 

 the "brow of the hill overlooking the Vale of Ffejiiniog^ 

 or more properly of Maentwrog, confifls only of a 

 fmall but comfortable inn, and an elegant manlion 



embowered in woods, the property of ^Oakley, 



efq. — This vale, watered by the little river Dwyryd, 

 which meanders along its bofom, contrafted with 

 the bleak and dreary mountains on the oppofite 

 fide, from hence affords a moft pleafing profpe6l. 

 A former traveller v/as fo highly gratified with the 

 fcene, as to make the fnigular remark, " That if 

 a perfon could live upon a landfcape, he would 

 fcarcely defire a more eligible fpot than this *.'* 



The inn is a fmall but good houfe, occupied by, 

 a very civil, attentive, and obliging man of the name 

 Cartwright. A poft-chaife and four horfes are kept 

 here.
