I intended to have gone quite round 

 the Ifland by Newborough, Aberffraw, 

 and Holyhead; but being informed that 

 'the fea had burft a bank near Aberffraw, 

 and that at high-water it covered upwards 

 of a thoufand acres of ground, I was obliged

 the Anglefea coaft as far as Moel-y-Don 

 ferry, and then took the road leading to 

 Holyhead by Gwyndy, an Inn about half 

 way betwixt Bangor and that place. 



From this coaft the town of Caernar-

 and the high grand mountains in the back- 

 ground, were ftrikingly beautiful ; and the 

 fcenery altogether, if poffible, exceeded in 



elegance
