Here I stood for some time looking about me, having the vale of Llangollen to the north of me, and a deep valley abounding with woods and rocks to the south.
Following the road to the south, which gradually descended, I soon came to a place where a road diverged from the straight one to the left.

As the left-hand road appeared to lead down a romantic valley I followed it.
The scenery was beautiful--steep hills on each side.

On the right was a deep ravine, down which ran a brook; the hill beyond it was covered towards the top with a wood, apparently of oak, between which and the ravine were small green fields.

Both sides of the ravine were fringed with trees, chiefly ash.

I descended the road which was zigzag and steep, and at last arrived at the bottom of the valley, where there was a small hamlet.
