A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 427 



A little while before we came to this 

 cromlech, I heard, from the fide of the 

 hill, on which we were walking, the fall- 

 ing of water, in a wood, on the other fide 

 of the valley, and apparently about half a 

 mile from us j and I could, though the 

 diflance was fo great, plainly perceive a 

 iilver line amongfl the trees, formed by 

 the waters rufhing down a precipice. I 

 enquired of the guide refpe&ing it, and he 

 informed me, that it was a fall of no great 

 height, or beauty, and he was not ac- 

 quainted with it's name, if it had any. 

 My walk of this day had been very long 

 and laborious, and I was almoft fainting 

 from want of refrefcment, fo that I was 

 under the neceflity of taking his word for 

 it, otherwife I mould have crofTed the 

 vale to examine it, for I am much inclined 

 to fuppofe, that it mufl have been a cata- 

 ract of very confiderable height.
