See Tour I. Of course, the plan of these Tours may be reversed; but the tourist is recommended to follow the route indicated, as it exhibits the scenery in the most favourable manner. The views at the beginnings of these Tours are comparatively on a small scale, and would consequently be seen to considerable disadvantage if the traveller had previously witnessed the sublime grandeur of Snowdon and Cader Idris. It is probable, however, that many travellers will avail themselves of the steam-packet, which goes daily, during the summer, from Liverpool to Beaumaris and Bangor. Six hours will place them in the midst of the finest marine scenery of North Wales; and in six days they may visit the romantic beauties of Snowdonia's mountains, lakes, and glens. The following plan of a tour will assist them in visiting the most remarkable objects. |
