208 A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



" they would have retained the fame re~ 

 " gular appearance that we obferve in all 

 *' other beds of limilar matter.'* 



From my ilation on Glyder vawr ? the 

 guide alfo pointed out to me, at the dif r 



tance of four or five miles towards the 



j 



north, and beyond the deep hollows of 

 Nant Francon and Cwm Idwal, the two 

 lofty mountains, Carnedd David and Car- 

 nedd Llewelyn ; the latter chiefly noted 

 on account of fome uncommon plants that 

 grow near it's fummit. 



Having fufficiently enjoyed the nume- 

 rous entertaining objects which prefented 

 themfelves to me from this elevated fitu- 

 tion, I defcended to Llyn y Cwn ; and 

 proceeding about three quarters of a mile 

 along the flat in which it is iituated, came 

 at length to an immenfe precipice above 

 a hundred yards in perpendicular height, 

 which forms one fide of the dreadful hol- 

 low that inclofes the black waters of Llyn 



Idwal.
