along through rich oak woods. The Pass itself forms a 
wondrous scene of power, of old commotion and present 
rest comparatively. From a height of 1,500 or 2,000 feet on 
both sides of you, as you stand in the jaws of the rocks, 
where are two or three little Moraine Mounds, the mountains 
are seen to be broken down in gigantic blocks or terraces 
from top to bottom, down to your feet, with difficult passage 
effected through them in some far-gone time; with savage 
recesses high above, whence a great part of the mountain has 
been torn out. This spot is about half way along the range 
running from Barmouth to near Maentwrog, and is but little 
known comparatively, being somewhere about five miles 
from Llanbedr, the nearest village, and formed in the great 
development there of the Cambrian Bocks. —Horace Pearce,
