ABSTRACT
Hotel accommodation as a rule is plentiful, varied, and good in N. Wales, and far exceeds that with which the tourist meets in S. Wales. Bangor, though containing in itself but little of interest, has always commanded a large share of tourists’ attention, arising from its beautiful and sheltered situation, its proximity to exquisite scenery, and the excellent accommodation afforded by its hotels and boarding-houses. The scenery of Llyn Cwellyn has been compared to that on the road between Grenoble and Susa. It is, however, rather of a melancholy character, owing to the absence of trees, and to the long barren expanse of hill that slopes down from Snowdon. The best flies are red spinner, mackerel, and drake’s wing. The tradition has been preserved and prettily transferred to verse by the late Hon. There are two farms at the foot, for which the pedestrian had better steer, and from thence he may climb the shoulder.
