341 A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



About three miles north of Llanrwft 

 flood the abbey of Maynan, to which, in 

 the year 1283, the monks were removed 

 by Edward the Firft from Conwy. The 

 revenues of this abbey at the diflblution, 

 were valued by Dugdale at 162. 15^. od. 

 and by Speed at 177. io.f. iod.* A 

 large old houfe built out of the ruins, is all

 place where poft horfes are kept, is, when 

 not full of company, a comfortable houfe ;

 be had to accompany the traveller to any 

 of the curiofities of the neighbourhood. 



About five miles from Llanrwft we 

 turned over fome fields on the left of the 

 road leading to Penmachno, to fee a fmall
