A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 215 



the fummer feafon, in order to tend and 

 milk her fheep and cows. The fummit 

 of the afcent, which is very gradual, is 

 called Gorphwysfa, or the refting place. 

 A good road might, I think, be made 

 without much expence from Caernarvon 

 by Llanberis, and through this pafs to 

 Llanrwft. This would be fhorter than 

 the prefent road by Conwy and Bangor 

 by at leaft ten miles, and would have all 

 the additional attractions of the mod ro- 

 mantic fcenery. 



The walk from Llanberis back again to 

 Caernarvon, I found much more pleafing 

 than the dull mountain profpects the other 

 way. I had from all the eminences an 

 extenfive view of Anglefea towards Beau- 

 maris and Prieflholme, and to the left the 

 fine old caftle of Caernarvon appeared 

 with all it's fplendid towers rinng above 

 the hills.
