DRIFFIN HONDDU, seven miles from Brecknock, 

 on the Honddu. 



LLAN WRTH RHYD, " the Church by the Ford," 

 on the Irvon. This is a wild and small, but truly 

 characteristic Welsh village. A rude bridge, a 

 wooded vale, with the river Irvon winding away into 

 the defiles of the romantic mountains embosoming 

 all its course ; cottages of true Welsh character, 

 with piles of peat larger than the houses, and that 

 sort of green cool light which mountains cast over 

 the landscapes of the valley, form this scene. Fol- 

 lowing the river by a bower ed road, the traveller finds 

 himself in front of a somewhat antique-looking 

 mansion, so delightfully close to the cool pastoral 

 stream, that a "brother of the angle" can sit and 

 pursue his sport from the window in a sunny 

 shower. 



ABERGWESSYN, a short distance from the above. 

 Two small churches stand on either side of the river. 

 There is a good public house here, and plenty ot 

 trout and salmon.
