diftant from Dolbadarn caftle), is Snow4on. From hence 

 the afcent is fo gradual, that a perfon, mounted on a 

 ftrong Welfh poney, may ride very nearly to the fummit. 



From Llanberis the excurfion may be varied by going 

 through tlie above romantic pafs called Cwni Glas, into 

 the beautiful vale of Nant Hwynan, and thence to Beddge- 

 lert; but, as this excurfion would occupy in the whole- 

 near 30 miles, it could not conveniently be performed in 

 one day on foot; on horfeback, however, there would be

 days to enjoy the fine fcenery of the neighbourhood, and 

 to amufe themfelves in angling for trout, with which the
