Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. created in 1887. A tour of North Wales. 29 Llanberis Pass, from Pont-y-Cromlech —A little higher up, and we are tempted to declare that this is certainly the wildest and most awe-inspiring spot we have ever been in. “ What lonely magnificence stretches around ! Each sight how sublime ; and how awful each sound ! All hushed and serene, as a region of dreams, The mountains repose 'mid the roar of the streams.” On our left is a tremendous piece of rock, known as the Cromlech, which has been thrown down from the side of Glyder Fawr. From a little bridge here we get this view looking down the Pass, and also a better idea of the wildness of the glen, with its almost perpendicular sides. A little further the summit of the Pass is reached, which is appropriately named Gorphwysfa, i.e., the resting place. From here the finest ascent of Snowdon is made.
