Cefyn Creini. 



Near the fummit of a hill on the oppofite fide of 

 the river, called Cefyn Creini, The Moimta'in of Wor- 

 Jhip, there is a vaft circle of loofe Hones, which 

 bears the appearance of having once been a Britiih 

 fortification. This is called Caer Drewyn and Y 

 Caer Wen, The White Fort. It is near half a mile 

 in circumference, but the walls are at prefent in 

 fuch a Hate, that at a diflance they appear like huge 

 heaps of ftones piled round the circumference of 

 a circle. Owen Gwynedd is believed to have oc- 

 cupied this pod, whilfl Henry II. had his mea 

 encamped among the Berwyn mountains, on the 

 oppofite fide of the vale. It is alfo related that 

 Owen Glyndwr made ufe of this place in his occa- 

 fional retreats. — The whole circle is perfectly vifible 

 from the road leading to Llanrwft, at the diftancc 

 of about two miles from the town. 



Glynn Bridge. 



From Corwen I made an excurfion of fix miles to 

 Pont y Glynn, T/?.^ Bridge of the Glen, on the road lead- 

 ing to Llanrwft. The fcenery along the whole walk 

 had numerous beauties ; but from one fituation I had 

 an uncommonly fine view along the beautiful vale of 

 Edeirnion, bounded by the lofty Berwyn mountains, 

 and adorned with the moft pleafing cultivation.-—
