A diary of a tour of the Lake District and of North Wales undertaken in August 1870. The identity of the travellers has not been ascertained, but it would appear that they resided in the vicinity of Wolverhampton. The North Wales journey commenced at Llandudno and led the party via Llanwrst [sic], Bettws y Coed, Capel Curig, Llanberis, Beth Gelert, the Aberglaslyn pass, Tan y Bwlch, Festiniog, Port Madoc, Barmouth and Dolgelly to Bala, whence they returned to Wolverhampton. Amongst the activities more specifically described are ascents of Snowdon and Caeder [Cader] Idris, and a visit to the gold mining works in the vicinity of Dolgelly. The volume is illustrated with engraved views and photographs.
