A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 123 



tyn, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a 

 place, as I have been informed, furrounded 

 with charming fcenery and rare plants. 

 About half a mile beyond this is Diganwy, 

 an antient caftle, founded about the time of 

 the Norman conqueft, and near it a circu- 

 lar watch tower, faid to have been built 

 fometime in the latter part of the laft cen- 

 tury. But from not having heard of thefc 

 curiofities, when I was in this part of the 

 country, I had not an opportunity of feeing 

 them.
