Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for NANTYGWRYD

NANTYGWRYD, a deep narrow vale in the E of Carnarvon; descending, east-north-eastward, from the eastern offshoots of Snowdon to Capel-Curig, and overhung, on the S, by Moel-Siabod. It is traversed by a head-stream of the Llugwy, an affluent of the Conway; and itpresents, almost everywhere, a severely desolate appearance, unrelieved by either wood or cultivation.
