iJ BEDDGELERT TO HARLECH'. 



Beddgelertj together with the fcenery around thai: 

 place, have already been defcribed. I fhall there- 

 fore, in this chapter, fuppofe myfelf proceeding 

 fouthwards, immediately from 



Pont Aberglasllyn^ 



From this celebrated bridge there are two roads 

 to Tanybwlch, the low or ne-w road, and the 

 mountain road, the- former of which occupies about 

 ten, and the latter eight miles. 7'ill within the 

 lafl two years, carriages were ufually taken along 

 the mountain-road, a feries of rocky fheeps, which, 

 were confidered fo dangerous, that mofl perfons 

 preferred walking for at lead five of the eight miles : 

 and feveral people, to avoid it, have even gone more 

 than forty miles round. For about two miles, this 

 romantic, though rude way, commands feveral beau- 

 tiful and extended profpeds. From one very ele- 

 vated fituation, I had in my former joi4rney a mofl 

 delightful view of all the fine and mountainous 

 country around me r Harlech and Criccieth caflles 

 were both in fight, and the long extent of ground 

 forming the promontory of Llyn, was vifible even 

 to its extremity. 



Beyond the bridge, on the new road, which is 

 formed through the more flat and level country 

 towards the fands, the varied fcene of wood, rock, 

 and mountain, is uncommonly fine. In fome fitua- 

 uons the view is confined to the immediately fur*.
