About this book
The title page describes Excursions in North Wales as a complete guide to the tourist through that romantic country, containing descriptions of its picturesque beauties, historical antiquities and modern wonders. The introduction says the ancient City of Chester is unquestionably the most attractive and convenient starting-place, from which should commence the journey of the tourist. The text says it would be dangerous for a stranger to undertake the journey without a guide, as the sands frequently shift, and that since the erection of the Menai bridge this route is seldom taken. At the extremity of a glen, a mountain presents a concave front, down the centre of which a vast cataract precipitates itself in a double fall, upwards of sixty feet in height.
An extensive artificial mount at the entrance of the glen was once the site of castle belonging to the renowned prince, Llewelyn the Great. The text says that near to Corwen is the site of an ancient British encampment, called Caer Drwyn, on the summit of a hill and protected by a circular wall, about one mile in circumference.
