Abstract
Six months ago public interest in Snowdonia as a national park was revived by the offer made by Mr. C. Williams-Ell is to the National Trust of 300 acres near Kant Gwynant with covenants to preserve the rest of Hafod Lwyfog farm in its present condition, provided others would co-operate in taking further steps for the preservation of this beautiful area. Since tben the Caernarvonshire County Council has taken active steps towards the preparation of a planning scheme covering the whole area, Now, through the generosity of an anonymous benefactor, a scheme has been formulated by tho National Trust for the preservation of the Aberglaslyn Pass. The anonymous benefactor has provided the funds for the purchase from the Snowdon Mountain Railway, Ltd., of tho east aide of the pass, provided the Trust can secure the co-operation of the owners of the land on the west side. The owners of Plas Aborglaslyn on the west of the Pass and Mr. Clough Williams-Ellis as owner of a small area to the south have immediately agreed, and the National Trust is now confidently awaiting the assurances of one or two other contiguous owners before completing the purchase. It is further believed that another offer of land between Gwynant and Pont Aberglaslyn is likely to be made.
