No sooner had I arrived in Anglesey than I set off for a weekend retreat in the hills north of Machynlleth:  still Snowdonia, but its southern reaches, across the pass south of Dolgellau and much afforested after the war.

The gate into the estate:-

A sign of some of the planting:-

Old outhouses:-

The woods:-

And the lake:-
