Before Ruthin is reached, afterpassing Bryn-y-ffynon, the pleasant residence of Mrs. Tayleur, we approach the ancientdemesne of Llwyn-Ynn, now occupied by J. F. Preston, Esq., to which reference will againbe made. We next descry, near the Alyn, the house of Gelligynan (J. C. Jones, Esq.); nearerRuthin, Eyarth, late the seat of Major Wynn, now of James Goodrich, Esq.; Plas Newydd(once the property of the Parrys of Llwynynn); Cefn Coch, the seat of Gabriel Roberts, Esq.;and Llanbedr Hall, the seat of J. F. Jesse, Esq. Ruthin is mainly remarkable for the excellence of its situation, on rising ground, in themidst of the Vale of Clwyd, its possession of a good grammar school, and of an historicaland residential castle. This castle is almost as prominent an object in the annals of mid-age Denbighshire as that of Chirk, although it has both the advantage and the drawback ofhaving been nearly entirely renovated in modern times. 372 DENBIGHSHIRE.
