DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Chester and Holyhead Railway is one of Britain’s most important main line routes, connecting London with mainland north Wales, and the Isle of Anglesey. The line was completed in 1850 under the direction of Robert Stephenson whose work included the famous tubular bridges that cross the river at Conwy and the Menai Straits near Bangor, the latter one destroyed by fire in 1970. The line was built primarily to support British rule in Ireland but was later instrumental in developing north Wales as a major tourist destination. Today the railway remains an important part of the Welsh and UK networks, providing trains that link north Wales with Cardiff and major English cities, as well as connecting with ferry services to Ireland.

J. H. Bransby. In compiling the following companion, the principal aim of the Writer has been to give a well-digested, condensed, and faithful description of the leading features of interest on the borders of Cambria, presented in a form at once portable and convenient to the Stranger, who leaves the busy scenes of life, and the constant care of business, for a few days' ramble among the hills and valleys of the Principality. He has endeavoured to arrange his information so that every object worthy of notice may easily be referred to as the train passes along and, not withstanding the amazing rapidity of transit, the traveller may, by looking to the work a little before he arrives at a particular place, easily obtain the desired View. Although the Editor has been obliged to curtail his antiquarian and historical details, enough, however, he hopes, has been given to inform the gene ral reader, that the line of country which he has travelled through has been the scene of many important historical events. The cities, towns, and villages, within a reasonable distance of the line have been carefully described the ancient castles, the mansions of the nobility, as well as all objects of interest seen from the line, have been faithfully pourtrayed and the whole interspersed with interesting historical and biographical notices. If any errors have crept in, or any requisite information has been omitted, the Editor will feel obliged by such being pointed out, and they shall be attended to in the next edition.
