preface* 


This  volume,  covering  Wales,  the  Midlands,  and  South- 
"West,  completes  the  "Contoiu'"  Road  Book  of  England 
in  three  volumes.  The  total  mileage  of  the  roads  "con- 
toured" in  this  volume  is  9,500  miles,  which  shows  that 
the  work  is  complete  in  every  respect. 

The  work  has  been  compiled  from  entirely  original 
sources,  the  information  being  obtained  personally  by  the 
writer  in  a  survey  of  each  district.  The  utmost  care 
has  been  taken  to  ensure  perfect  accuracy  in  regard  to 
all  the  miscellaneous  information  compressed  into  these 
pages. 

The  Author's  thanks  are  due  to  those  gentlemen  who 
have  so  kindly  helped  at  various  stages,  and  whose  ready 
assistance  has  so  largely  contributed  to  the  accuiac}-  of 
the  work.

CONTOUR   ROAD   BOOK   OF   ENGLAND  (IF.)  xiii. 

General    Notes. 

Routes  1-674  are  in  the  North,  and  South-East  Divisions. 

The  district  covered  by  this  volume  is  one  of  the  most  delightful 
pai'ts  of  England  for  sceneiy.  The  rugged  cliffs,  and  the  bold 
headlands  are  the  distinctive  features  of  the  -whole  coast  from 
Dorset,  round  Cornwall,  to  North  Wales.  The  tourist  must  there- 
fore be  content  with  following  the  liilliest  of  roads.  Inland  the 
counti-y  is  either  very  hilly  or  undulating,  with  the  exception  of  a 
portion  of  Somersetshire,  where  it  is  flat. 

The  roads  are  all  more  or  less  hilly,  but  some  of  the  main  routes 
throiigh  the  best  scenery  are  well  engineei-ed.  Duiing  the  Autumn 
Militaiy  Manoeuvi-es  the  roads  over  Salisbury  Plain  are  comjdetely 
broken  up  with  the  traffic  over  them,  and  are  often  impassable. 

The  Cathedrals  at  Exeter,  Truro,  Wells,  Bristol,  Bath,  Salisbury, 
Gloucester,  Worcester,  and  Lichfield  are  worth  visiting.  Those  in 
Wales  are  of  no  gi-eat  interest.  Visit  also  the  fine  ruins  of  Tintem 
Abbey  and  Glastonbury  Abbey.  Of  Castles  and  laiins  of  castles 
there  are  few  in  the  South,  but  in  Wales,  and  near  its  borders  ; 
those  at  Chepstow,  Raglan,  Ludlow,  Harlech,  Carnarvon,  and 
Conway,  are  in  i-emarkably  good  preservation. 

The  best  scenery  is  in  Carnarvonshire  and  Merioneth;  and  at 
Llangollen,  Barmouth,  Aberystwyth,  Wye  Valley,  Tenby,  Ludlow, 
Wai'wick  ;  the  Devonshire,  Cornwall,  and  Dorset  Coast;  and  the 
Mendip  and  Malvern  Hiils.  "Shakespeare's  country"  is  at  Strat. 
ford-on- Avon.

At   fii-st  glance,  the  spelling   and   pronunciation   of  the  Welsh 

names  is  very  puzzling,  but  this  is  owing  to  some  of  the  letters  of 

the  Welsh  alphabet  being  used  to  produce  ditferent  sounds  from  the 

English.     For  all  practical  pur^joses  it  is  enough  to  know  that : — 

Ll-thl;  dd  =  th;  ic=uovoo:  u  =  i;  c^k;  f-V ;  and.?7'=/. 

These  will  enable  the  beginner  to  master  the  initial  stages,  but, 
to  be  accurate,  there  is  a  subtle  inflexion  which  has  no  English 
equivalent,  and  that  can  only  be  learned  viva  voce.

It  is  only  right  to  saj'  that  the  place  names  owe  their  length  to 
being  compound  words,  and  when  the  letters  are  run  together 
some  extraordinaiy  combinations  are  produced.  The  name  that 
has  sutfered  most  is  Llanfair-pwll-gwyngyll,  in  Anglesea,  known  as 
Llanfair  (P.G.),  which  is  made  to  appear  as  : — 

Llanfairpwllgwj-ngjilgogerchwymdrobwlltysiliogogoch,  or 

Llanfaiii^wllgwyngj'/ltiisiliologogoch,  aiul  other  variations. 

The  tennination  to  the  original  name  is  apocryphal,  and  consists 
merely  of  a  more  minute  description  of  the  locality. 

Llan  means  church,  and  the  common  compounds  Llanfair  (Church 
St.  Mary);  Llanfihangel  (Church  St.  Michael);  and  Llansantflraid 
(Church  St.  Bridey,  are  the  initial  stages  of  the  longer  words.  The 
names  are  usually  simple,  thus,  the  church  of  St.  Bride  on  the 
banks  of  the  Conway  :  LlansantfFraid-glan-Conway.

Xamp=Xigbting  ^Tables. 

(See  Index  of  Towns  on  next  page.) 

The  time  of  sunset  for  each  date  \aries  from  ^car  to  >ear,  these 
Tables  therefore  are  not  absolutely  exact,  but  yi%e  an  average  which 
is  never  more  than  a  few  minutes  out,  on  any  date. 

To  use  the  Tables.  — Find  the  district  required  on  the  next  page, 
and  add  the  time  allowance  to  the  column  named,  and  opposite  the 
required  date.  For  example,  the  average  time  for  lighting  lamps 
at  Coventry  on  June  21  is  obtained  as  follows: — Co\entry,  add 
6  minutes  to  column  F  on  June  21,  which  is  9.19.  The  average  hour 
for  lighting  lamps  is  therefore  9.25  p.m. 

For  dates  not  in  Table  take  the  proportion  between  the  two  nearest.

xviii.        CONTOUR   ROAD  BOOK   OF  ESGLASD  (ir.) 


Explanation    of    Diagrams. 

The  line  bordering  the  shaded  portion  of  the  Plan  is  a 
facsimile  of  the  profile  of  tlie  Route,  and  is  divided  by  vertical 
lines  into  miles,  and  by  horizontal  lines  into  contoui"s  of  100  feet, 
so  that  distances  and  heights  are  ascertained  qnickly. 

The  blocks  show  the  positions  of  the  villages  and  houses,  while 
the  signs  are  the  road  directions  :  —  <  Road  Fork,  forward 
journey,  >  ditto  reverse,  +  Cross  Roads,  ±  Road  Junction,  fl 
Bridge,  t  indicates  a  shaiii  turn.  The  directions  R  (right)  and 
L  (left)  for  the  forward  journey  are  above  the  Road  Line,  those 
of  the  revei-se  below. 

The  vertical  scale  has  necessarily  been  enlarged  out  of  strict  pro- 
portion, as  otlierwise  the  ordinary  Gradients  would  almost  have 
been  imjHjrceptible. 


Explanation    of    Letterpress. 

The  diagram  should  be  consulted  first,  as  the  letterpress  is 
appended  to  it.     Places  named  in  brackets  are  otf  the  road. 

The  Description  sttites  the  quality  of  the  road,  and  it  should 
be  observed  that  the  "  Class  "  refers  solely  to  the  construction  of 
the  road,  and  not  to  its  surface.  Class  I.  is  a  superior,  broad,  and 
finely -made  road.  Class  II.  is  the  ordinary  main  road.  Class  III. 
is  of  inferior  construction,  iisually  narrow,  or  hilly.  Roads  of 
this  class  are  usually  very  old,  or  have  been  constructed  in  an 
inferior  manner. 

Gradients. — l  in  25;  i.e.,  l  foot  of  rise  in  2o,  is  a  fairly  easy 
hill,  1  in  20  is  stiff.  1  in  15  is  steep.  Cyclists  usually  walk  uj)  a  hill 
of  1  in  17.  A  descent  does  not  generally  become  dangerous  till 
it  is  1  in  15  and  then  only  with  a  sharp  turn,  but  witli  anything 
steeper  the  danger  increases.  A  little  experience  of  one  or  two 
hills  will  be  a  permanent  guide.  On  nearly  every  hill  the  gradient 
varies  every  few  yarels.  Those  given  here  represent  ajjproxiniately 
the  general  slope,  and  in  most  cases  the  maximum  is  given. 

Milestones. — The  exact  points  from  which  these  are  measured 
are  named.  Where  the  measurements  in  this  work  differ  from 
those  given  on  the  milestones,  the  difference  in  distance  between 
the  starting  points,  and  other  variations,  is  the  cause. 

Measurements. — The  tabular  form  gives  the  distance  from 
any  one  point  to  another,  the  number  below  the  one  name  and 
opposite  the  other  being  the  distance  I'einiired.  For  clearness 
the  furlongs  have  been  put  in  the  tables  as  J  ths. 

Principal  Objects  of  Interest.— These  are  only  notes- 
details  can  be  found  in  almost  any  guide  book. 

Hotels  or  Inns- — It  has  been  found  difficult  to  decide  whether 
certain  small  houses  should  be  inserted  or  not.  The  tourist  there- 
fore should  not  exi)ect  much  of  some  of  them,  as  they  are  the  only 
accommodation  available. 

At  intervals  throughout  the  hook,  numbei'S  have  been  left  blank, 
to  enable  new  routes  to  be  added  when  required.

turn  are  at  Yarcombe  and  Shaftesbury,  the  others  are  all 
straight  and  wide.  The  old  direct  road  from  Honiton  to

725  Exeter   to    Plymouth.   (By  Dartmoor.) 

Description.— Class  11.  An  exceedingly  hilly  road  to 
witliin  ten  miles  of  Plymouth.  The  surface  is  very  fair  as 
far  as  ]\Ioreton  Hampstead,  but  the  hills  are  very  steep  and 
ilangerous.  From  IMoreton  Hampstead  to  Princetown  the 
road  is  loose  on  the  moors,  and  is  little  else  than  a  succession 
of  dangerous  hills,  but  they  are  nearly  all  straight.  Awkward 
descent  to  Two  Bridges.  After  Princetown  the  surface  im- 
proves, and  after  Harrowbeer  it  is  an  excellent  undulating 
road  into  Plymouth.  For  Devonport  keep  to  R.  at  40m. 
The  best  road  is  E.  724.     Fine  scenery.

584  NORTH    DEVON. 


701       Ilfracombe   to    Minehead. 

Description.— Class  II.  The  worst  main  road  in  the 
south  of  England.  From  Ilfracombe  to  Combe  ]Martin  the 
road  has  fine  surface,  but  is  very  steep ;  thereafter  it  is  a 
long  ascent,  very  steep  at  first,  then  easier,  then  steep,  but 
with  good  surface  to  Blackmoor  Sta.  From  Blackmoor  Sta, 
to  Parracombe  the  surface  is  good  to  close  to  that  place, 
when  the  road  drops  suddenly  into  the  village  and  rises 
agam  on  the  other  side  with  a  perfectly  precipitous  gradi- 
ent and  with  wretched  surface;  good  surface  again  for  the 
next  four  miles,  then  another  dangerous  descent,  before 
Barbrook  Mill.  The  road  then  descends  to  Lynmouth  by  a 
sheer  descent  with  an  awkward  twist  at  the  bottom — about 
the  most  dangerous  hill  in  the  country.  From  L^-nmouth 
the  road  rises  by  a  two  mile  ascent  of  a  somewhat  similar 
description,  but  after  Countisbury  it  is  easier,  and  for  the 
next  7m.  is  \isualh-  good,  but  inclined  to  be  ijoft ;  the  road 
then  descends  to  Porlock  by  another  sheer  descent,  with  two 
twists  iiear  the  bottom ;  there  is  scarcely  any  surface  to 
this  jmrt  of  the  road — it  is  more  like  a  river  bed^but  a  new 
descent  (sho-vvii  dotted)  has  been  made  to  Porlock  from  Oar 
Post,  a  mile  longer,  with  better  surface.  Fine  surface,  but 
a  hilly  road  from  Porlock  to  Minehead.

702      Taunton   to    Barnstaple. 

Description.— Class  II.  As  far  as  Milverton  the  road  has 
fine  surface,  and  slight  gradients,  but  close  to  that  place  it 
becomes  hilly,  and  after  AViveliscombe  the  hills  are  very  long 
to  Venn  Cross  Station,  whence  the  gradients  are  easier  to 
Banipton.  From  Bampton  to  South  Molton  the  road  is  good 
at  first,  but  after  Stukeridge  Bridge  it  rather  degenerates 
in  quality,  and  although  the  gradients  are  not  very  steep,  it 
is  sometimes  a  very  heavy  road.  Near  South  Molton  there 
are  two  very  dangerous  hills,  and  thereafter  to  Barnstaple 
the  road  is  more  or  less  hilly,  with  a  dangerous  descent 
to  Swimbridge.  There  is  a  more  direct  road  (shown  by 
dotted  lines)  between  Bampton  and  Stukeridge  Bridge,  a 
mile  shorter,  but  rather  steep.

654  GLOUCESTERSHIRE. 

SS2    Gloucester  to  Chipping   Norton. 

Description.  — Class  I.  &  III.  The  best  road  from  Glou- 
cester to  Andoversford  is  through  Cheltenham,  the  moi-e 
direct  road  being  dangerously  steep,  as  shown  at  foot. 
Fine  surface  all  the  way  to  Andoversford,  although  the 
road  near  Cheltenham  is  at  times  wery  bumpy.  This  part 
is  the  London  road.  After  Andoversford  the  road  has  fair 
surface  all  the  way  to  Chij^ping  Norton,  but  there  are 
quite  a  number  of  steep  and  dangerous  hills  as  far  as  Stow, 
but  these  can  mostly  be  avoided  by  following  a  side  road 
past  Notgrove  Station.  From  Stow  to  Chii:)ping  Norton, 
the  direct  road,  shown  dotted,  is  very  steep;  the  longer 
route  by  Churchhill,  that  is  usually  followed,  avoids  the 
steep  hills,  and  has  excellent  surface.  There  is  another  and 
almost  better  road  by  Adlestrop  Station  and  Kingham  to 
Churchhill.  As  a  through  route  this  road  cannot  be  recom- 
mended ;  the  road  by  Burf ord  and  Witney  is  much  easier 
when  going  eastwards.

shorter  one  by  Staunton  is  usually  chosen,  but  in  the 
reverse  direction  from  Ledbury  to  Gloucester ;  the  road

roads  is  very  mu.ch  the  same,  but  the  first  is  slightly  less 
hilly  than  the  second.

GLOUCESTER    AXD    310 N MOUTH. 


3oO    Gloucester  to  Newport  (Monmouth). 

Description. — Class  I.  Although  this  seems  a  round- 
abotit  road,  it  is  by  far  the  best  and  quickest,  owing  to  the 
hilly  country  intervening.  The  direct  route  to  Monmouth 
via  Colef ord  is  sho-wai  below ;  the  direct  route  to  Newport 
is  Route  886,  but  both  are  much  steeper  than  this  route. 

From  Gloucester  to  Ross,  see  Route  876 ;  thereafter  magni- 
ficent surface  the  whole  way  to  Newport,  but  with  a  rough 
and  dangerous  hill  at  \yhitchurch.  The  road  by  Coleford 
has  fair  surface,  but  dangerous  hills ;  but  from  Coleford 
to  Monmouth  by  Staunton  is  even  better  than  by  Redbrook.

GLOWCESTER    AND    MONMOUTH. 


8SO       Gloucester  to   Cardiff. 

Description. — Class  II.  Although  this  is  the  direct  road, 
it  is  exceedingly  hillj  between  Newnham  and  Chepstow,  and 
as  these  hills  are  very  steep,  the  road  round  by  Eoss  and 
Monmouth,  Route  885,  is  much  to  be  preferred.  At  first 
the  surface  is  very  good  to  Newnham,  but  after  that  there 
is  a  succession  of  steep  and  dangerous  hills,  but  with  very 
fair  sui'face,  to  Chepstow ;  thereafter  the  road,  though 
somewhat  hilly  as  far  as  Caerwent,  has  ver^'  good  surface, 
but  is  rather  bumpy  round  about  Newport  and  Cardiff, 
owing  to  heavy  traffic.

702  WARWICK. 


035   Coventry  to  Newcastle  (Continued). 

Between  Coventry  and  Lichfield  there  are  a  number  of 
hills  as  far  as  "Whitacre,  and  beyond  that,  only  slight  inclines 
to  Fazeley ;  thereafter  only  one  hill  to  Lichfield.  (Note  to 
turn  to  left  at  Two  Gates,  thus  avoiding  Tamworth,  and  a 
bvimpy  piece  of  road.)  From  Lichfield  to  Rugeley  the  road 
given  here,  though  not  the  most  direct,  has  fine  surface  and 
easy  grades.  The  direct  road  (shown  dotted)  has  some  rather 
stiff  inclines.  From  Eugeley  to  Newcastle  the  road  is  flat 
for  ten  miles,  to  Sandon,  whence  there  are  some  slight  hills 
between  that  place  and  Newcastle.  The  road  throughout 
has  magnificent  surface,  and  is  a  splendid,  broad  highway. 

For  Chester  (R.  265),  turn  off  at  Meaford,  50hn.  For 
Stafford  (R.  967),  at  "Wolseley  Bridge,  36|m.  For  Longton,

WARWICK. 


O3o      Coventry  to  Shrewsbury. 

Description,— Class  11.  Although  the  main  route  to 
Shrewsbury  is  through  Birmingham,  this  road  avoids  the 
18  miles  of  Black  Countr}'  that  is  most  objectionable,  both 
owing  to  hea\y  traffic,  slag  heaps,  and  spouting  furnaces^ 
At  several  points  the  surface  on  this  road  is  a  little  loose, 
but  the  surface  is  generally  in  good  condition  to  Cannock, 
whence  the  road  has  splendid  surface  to  Cracklej^  Bank. 
From  there  to  Wellington  the  road  is  rough  and  steep,  and 
it  is  almost  better  to  go  round  by  Shifnal.  Note  not  to  go 
straight  forward  past  Oakengates,  as  the  road  is  narrow  and 
very  steep ;  follow  the  route  by  Snedshill  and  Ketley  Bank, 
or  by  Shifnal.  From  Wellington  to  Shrewsbury,  see 
Route  949. 

The  road  from  Lichfield  (shown  dotted)  joins  in  at  Brown- 
hills  (Rising  Sun  Inn) ;  it  has  good  surface.  The  old  Chester 
Road  to  Newport  branches  off  to  R.  at  43|m.

BIRMINGHAM. 


037   Birmingham   to   Leominster. 

Description.— Class  II.  The  paving  is  good  for  three 
miles  from  Birmingham,  but  the  road  then  becomes  bmnpy, 
with  two  very  dangerous  hills  to  Hagley ;  after  that  good 
sm'f  ace,  but  hilly  to  Kidderminster.  (Better  to  train  to  Stour- 
bridge, and  join  at  Kidderminster,  see  last  diagram).  Ex- 
cellent surface,  but  a  stiff  hill  thence  to  Bewdley.  From 
Bewdley  to  Tenbury  there  are  very  steep  hills,  with  a 
dangerous  turn  in  Mamble,  but  after  reaching  Newnham 
the  road  at  once  improves,  and  is  in  perfect  condition  to 
Leominster.  The  road  from  Bewdley,  through  Cleobmy 
Mortimer  to  Tenbury,  is  a  succession  of  dangerous  hills.

bumpy,  the  rest  is  usually  in  excellent  condition.  The 
road  by  Dudley,  on  the  other  hand,  while  fairly  good,  has

05S    Wolverhampton  to  Tamworth. 

Description.— Class  II.  A  rather  bumpy  road,  with  car 
lines,  to  "Walsall,  thereafter  very  fair  surface,  but  a  wind- 
ing country  road,  somewhat  difficult  to  follow  owing  to  the 
numerous  turns  and  forks.  It  is  not  a  main  road,  but  is 
extensively  iised.

views  are  obtained  from  the  higher  parts. 


956   Wolverhampton   to   Lichfield. 

Description.— Class  II.  &  III.  Of  the  two  roads  shown, 
the  direct  route  by  Bloxwich  is  by  no  means  the  better ;  it 
lies  through  the  manufacturing  districts  of  Wednesfield 
and  Bloxwich,  and  through  the  collieries  at  Brownhills ; 
the  surface  is  therefore  much  cut  up,  and  there  is  often 
loose  material  on  the  road.  By  Walsall  the  road  is  con- 
siderably superior,  and  is  kept  in  better  order.

O5o   Wolverhampton   to    Newcastle. 

Description,— Class  II.  The  main  route  to  Liverpool,, 
^Manchester,  &c.  For  the  first  mile  the  road  is  bumpy,  but 
immediately  after,  the  surface  improves,  and  is  in  perfect 
condition  to  Newcastle.  The  road  is  almost  level,  excepting 
a  few  slight  undulations  before  Stafford,  the  hill  over  to 
Stone,  and  some  hiUs  near  Trentham. 

For  Longton  (SO^m.),  turn  to  right  at  Stone,  or  Trentham, 
preferably  the  latter.  For  Stoke  and  Hanley,  turn  to  right 
at  Trent  Vale.  Newcastle  to  JManchester  (R.  244),  363m. ; 
to  Liverpool  (R.231 ),  o2lm..  The  road  avoiding  Stone  (which 
the  telegraph  wires  follow),  saves  a  very  small  distance.

SHROPSHIRE. 


078      Shrewsbury  to   Stafford. 

Description. — Class  II.  There  are  two  roads  between 
ShreAYsbury  and  Newport  ;  the  longer,  and  best  road, 
through  Wellington,  has  splendid  surface  and  very  slight 
gradients  for  eleven  miles.  From  Wellington  to  Newport 
the  surface  is  also  excellent,  but  it  is  not  nearly  so  good 
as  the  first  section  of  the  road.  The  more  direct  road  to 
Newport  is  shown  at  foot;  the  surface  on  it  is  very  good, 
but  several  hills  detract  considerably  from  what  is  a  very 
fair  road.     There  is  a  dangerous  descent  before  Newport. 

From  Newport  to  Stafford  the  road  has  very  good  surface, 
but  there  is  a  dangerous  hill  three  miles  from  Stafford.

^70     Shrewsbury  to  Worcester. 

Deseription. —  Class  II.  There  are  two  roads  between 
Shrewsbury  and  Bridgnorth ;  the  direct  road  by  Wenloek 
has  fine  surface,  but  there  is  a  precipitous  hill  (on  which  in- 
numerable accidents  have  happened),  before  Wenloek;  there- 
after excellent  surface,  but  several  very  steep  hills,  to 
Bridgnorth.  The  road  by  Ironbridge  avoids  Harley  Hill, 
and  has  fine  surface  for  seven  miles,  then  is  hilly  to  Build- 
was,  after  which  it  has  good  surface  to  Broseley,  then  several 
steep  hills  but  good  surface  to  Bridgnorth  (Upper  Town). 

From  Bridgnorth  to  Kidderminster,  very  good  surface,  but 
steep  hills,  one  being  dangerous.  Kidderminster  to  AYorces-

754  SHROPSHIRE. 


0o4      Shrewsbury   to  Vyrnwy. 

Description.— Class  II.  This  is  an  excellent  undulating 
road  through  Alberbviry  to  Llansantffraid ;  practically  flat 
near  Four  Crosses,  then  with  easy  undulations  to  Llan-

steep,  and  there  is  a  dangerous  descent,  with  an  awkward 
turn,  shortlj^  before  Vyrnwy.  On  the  higher  parts  of  the 
road  the  surface  is  rather  loose.  The  road  goes  round 
the  lake,  and  is  level,  with  good  surface  (distance  lUm.).

miles.  From  Clynnog  to  Pwllhelli  the  surface  is  hardly  as 
good, — there  are  several  loose  parts,  but  as  a  rule  it  is  in 
good  condition.  There  is  a  steep  descent  before  Pwllheli. 
From  Pwllheli  to  Llanbedrog  the  road  is  practically  level, 
but  after  that  it  is  very  steep,  and  with  indifferent  surface.

31  CoRWEN   TO    Barmouth.  [1031] 

Description.— Class  II.  The  shortest  and  best  road  from 
C'orwen  to  Bala  is  by  Drnid.  and  although  the  surface  is  a 
trifle  loose,  the  perfect  engineering  makes  this  a  fast  road, 
as  the  rise  is  very  gradual.  The  route  by  Llandrillo  has 
steeper  hills,  but  prettier  scenery.  From  Bala  to  Dolgelley 
the  road  is  very  good,  as  far  as  Llanuwchllj-n,  where  turn 
to  right  at  fork,  along  a  bad  road.  From  this  point,  for 
a))out  six  miles,  the  road  is  all  loose  stones  and  grass ;  but 
the  cyclist  can  usually  find  a  narrow  track.  After  Drwsy- 
nant  Station  the  surface  at  once  improves,  and  is  in  good 
condition  all  the  way  to  Dolgelley,  which  lies  on  the  other 
side  of  the  river  from  the  road.  From  Dolgelley  to  Bar- 
mouth the  surface  is  also  very  good,  but  there  are  a  number 
of  short  steej)  hills,  and  those  near  Barmouth  are  slightly 
<langerous.  The  distance  round  Bala  Lake  is  eleven  miles. 
"West  side,  good  surface ;  east  side,  fair.

40       Aberystwyth    to    Newtown.        [1049] 

Description.— Class  I.  For  the  first  twelve  miles  the 
road  has  splendid  surface,  after  that  it  is  more  or  less  loose 
all  the  way  to  Llangurig,  but  as  the  ascent  is  very  gradual, 
and  as  there  is  usually  a  good  strip  of  surface  at  the  sides, 
it  is  generally  coiinted  a  first-class  road.  After  Llangurig 
the  surface  is  fair  until  Llanidloes  is  reached,  thence  it  is 
a  i>erfect  road  to  Newtown. 

The  road  by  Devil's  Bridge  has  excellent  surface,  but  is 
steep.  After  Devil's  Bridge  to  the  junction  with  the  main 
road  at  Dyffryn-Castell,  it  is  rather  rough,  and  has  a  ford.

Description. — Class  II.  The  surface  is  exceedingly  good, 
even  on  the  steep  hills,  but  the  numerous  dangerous  hills, — 
mostly  of  some  length, — make  this  a  very  trying  road.  Going 
north  the  gradients  are  more  favourable  than  going  south, 
although  even  then  most  of  them  are  very  stiff.  Between 
Aberaeron  and  Cardigan  the  road  is  almost  more  hilly,  but 
the  surface  is  in  fine  condition.

44  Maps,  each  about  20  by  23  Inches. 

Teltgraph  Name  for  this  Series, — "  COl/NTi'." 

The  Publishers'  Circular,  referring  to  "  Surrey,"  says : 
"  An  excellent  Map,  as  we  have  found  on  many  occasions 
when  walking  in  that  county." 

The  average  scale  of  these  Maps  being  considerably  less 
than  that  of  the  Half  Inch  Map,  this  forms  a  much  cheaper 
Map  of  England,  but  as  each  sheet,  as  a  rule,  covers  a 
much  larger  area,  the  amount  of  detail  is  considerably  less. 

Price  6d.  each,  printed  on  strong  paper,  Coloured. 

Price  Is,  each,  raounted  on  doth,  Coloured,  a/nd  folded 

in  neat  Cloth  Cover.
