352 GUIDE THROUGH NORTH WALES. 



probably choofe to" vifit Dolwyddelan caftle, a Britifli ruin, 

 three miles on the left of the road. — About 5 miles from 

 Llanrwfl is the celebrated cataraft of the Llugwy, Rhaiadr 

 y fVetiol. A mile beyond this is the pi£lurefque bridge 

 called Pout y Pair, near the vill-ige of Bettws y Coed. 



Near Llanrwfl is the ancient manfion of Gwydir, once 

 the family feat of the Wynnes, and now the property of 

 the right honourable lord Gwydir. — Llanrwft is chiefly 

 celebrated for its fine bridge, built under the fuperintend- 

 ance of Inigo Jones. The church, or rather the chapel 

 adjoining to the church, is well worth a vifit from the 

 tourid. The inn is rhe Eagles*, a good houfe. 



In his return to Caernarvon, on the prefcribed route, 

 the tourifl:, at 34: miles from Llanrwft, will repafs the 

 village of Bettws, from whence leaving the former road, 

 for that leading to Penmachno, he will at 5 and 6 miles 

 pafs two cataracts of the liver Conwy, the former, how- 

 ever, not a very confiderable one : the latter, which is 

 called PJjaladr y Craig Llivyd, is a little to the left of the 

 road, ne<ir a fmall fulling mill, Pandy, in Wclfh. — 8 miles 

 from Llanrwft he will pafs through the village of Pen- 

 machno, and 8 miles farther, after a very unintercfting 

 ride over mountainous moors, will enter the village of 

 Ffeftiniog. Here tliere is a very uncomfortable public 

 houfe. Near Ffeftiniog are the cataracts of the Cynfael. 

 A mile from the village he will enter the vale of Ffefti- 

 niog, and pafs along it nearly to Tanybwlch, which is 

 about 20 miles from Llanrwft. From Tanybwlch to Caer- 

 narvon, the diftance is 22 miles farther. The inn at Tan- 

 ybwlch * is a very comfortable houfe. — B miles, crofs 

 Pont i^berglasllyn : — 10 miles, enter Beddgelert : — 14, 

 pafs Llyn Cwellyn ; — 1 7, Bettws Garmon: and 22, enter 

 Caernarvon.
