This is said to be the deepest pool in the whole course of the Dee, varying in depth from twenty to thirty feet.

Enormous pike, called in Welsh penhwiaid, or ducks-heads, from the similarity which the head of a pike bears to that of a duck, are said to be tenants of this pool.
We returned to the vicarage, and at about ten we all sat down to supper.
On the supper-table was a mighty pitcher full of foaming ale.
"There," said my excellent host, as he poured me out a glass, "there is a glass of cwrw, which Evan Evans himself might have drunk." One evening my wife, Henrietta, and myself, attended by John Jones, went upon the Berwyn, a little to the east of the Geraint or Barber's Hill, to botanize.

Here we found a fern which John Jones called Coed llus y Bran, or the plant of the Crow's berry.

There was a hard kind of berry upon it, of which he said the crows were exceedingly fond.

We also discovered two or three other strange plants, the Welsh names of which our guide told us, and which were curious and descriptive enough.
