angling on the Wye, is in re-crossing the river 

 from Chepstow to Newport, near the forest of 

 Dean. The views over the Severn and Glouces- 

 tershire are magnificent, and the rugged cliffs, 

 overhanging the banks of the Wye, sublime and 

 awful. There is everything in rich abundance to 

 gratify the lover of fine scenery. 



The Ithon rises in Montgomeryshire, and, from 

 its origin, flows directly south. It receives the 

 principal stock of waters from the central part 

 of the county. It falls into the Wye, seven 

 miles above the town of Builth, after running a 

 course of thirty miles. 



There are a number of smaller streams in 

 Eadnorshire, as the Somergil, the Edw, the 

 Marteg, the Clywedog, the Arrow, and Bach-wy. 

 All these waters abound with fine trout and 

 grayling, and the scenery along their banks is 

 well worthy the angler's attention. 



The lakes of Eadnorshire are Llyn Gwyn, 

 near to Ehaiader ; Llyn Llanidin, about a mile 

 in circumference; Llyn Bychllyn, near Panis- 

 castle ; Llyn Gwingy, on the borders of Cardi- 

 ganshire ; and Llyn Hendwell, in the vicinity of 

 Old Eadnor. Trout, eels, perch, &c., are found 

 in abundance in all these waters.
