Il A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



Whilft from below I was entertained 

 with 



the cheerful found 



Of woodland harmony, that always fills 

 1 'he merry vale between." 



The rugged and woody banks of theDee 

 upon my proceeding forward, foon add- 

 ed a frefh in tereft to this beautiful retreat. 

 The vale extends nearly to Llangollen ; 

 and, at the diflance of about. a mile, the 

 town,with it's church and elegant bridge, 

 romantically embofomed in mountains, 

 whofe rugged fummits pierced the clouds, 

 came, as additional features, into the 

 landfcape. 



To thefe elegant Fcenes, the dirty, ill- 

 looking town, having fcarcely a good 

 houfe within it, formed afterwards a 

 moft wretched contraft. 



The bridge, which confifts of five 

 narrow pointed arches, was erected be- 

 fore 1357 by John Trevor, Bifhop of 



St.
