We passed through the village of Llandegai--a model of beauty and neatness--situated at the chief entrance of the castle grounds.  We crossed over by the ferry to Beaumaris, in the island of Anglesea.  It is a very picturesque place, on the north-western side of the bay called after it.  The distance across the bay is about eight miles.  From the shore we could distinguish Penmaenmawr, Puffin Island, Great Orme's Head, Conway Bay, and other interesting spots.  The distance round the whole island is about eighty miles.  On the western shore lies the island of Holyhead, joined to Anglesea by a bridge.  This little island is made the chief port of departure for the Irish coast.
