Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. created in 1887. A tour of North Wales. 38 Tan-y-BwIch, a view of which place is here shewn. The picturesque little lake has only been formed within recent years, and greatly adds to the beauty of the scene. In the distance are seen the mountains which surround the lovely vale of Ffestiniog. “If a person could live upon landscape,” wrote Mr. Wyndham, “he would scarcely desire a more eligible spot than this.” If the tourist has plenty of time on his hands, a walk of three miles into the neighbouring valley of Ffestiniog will amply repay him, the scenery being almost world- renowned, and made famous by Lord Lyttleton, who, when he visited it in 1756, wrote, “ If you have a mind to live long, and renew your youth, come and settle at Ffestiniog.”
