THE VALLEYS OF THE LYN

as by a giant hand along the river bed. On both sides of 
the glen the wood-crowned hills which bound it rise gloriously 
against the sky. Towering above the hill on the right as 
we look seawards, is a gigantic mass of rock, its top and a 
portion of its side clothed with a green mantle of Fern, 
gorse, grass, and green shrub. O11 each side the hills sweep 
gracefully and grandly down to the bed of the foaming Lvn. 
Away below where they appear to meet is the boulder-strewn 
beach of Lynmoutli. And beyond, with its fairy freight of 
white sails, calmly rolls the sea, the hills of Wales stretching 
across as the distant boundary of the horizon, and appearing- 
like a faint line drawn across from side to side of the hills 
which bound Glen Lyn.
