Tuesday, 30. —From Porthaeth-hwy to Llangefni, 6 Miles; to Bodedern, 10; to Caer Gybi, at Mrs Welche's, 6 Miles. The Road here was chiefly a level, much on a Causey, ye Ground about it but barren for ye most part, & rocky. 3 Churches on ye Right of ye Road had Binsey Steeples, one of 'em was Bodedern. A Stone of considerable height set up on end, but no Signs of an Inscription on it, stood in a ground to ye left of ye Road, behind Llangefni. More Goats to day than I had seen before. Caer Gybi is a Market-town, near ye Western Cape of ye Island, which is call'd Holy-head, more generally the Head; This ye only Mountain, to speak of, in Anglesey.
Some of ye ordinary Women in North Wales, wear Stockings without feet, & no Shoes; so do several Boys. The Women All wear black Hats, (Several such We saw in Shrewsbury) in ye other parts of their Dress, much superior to ye Sex in South-Wales, for which See my Tour there. They say big for great, as ‘a big room’. Their Oath is — Name of God.
