A Perfect Walk One present essay in the preservation of
natural beauty should have a host of supporters. For myself I should put the view from the Old Welsh Highland railway between Dims and Portmadoc (where Mr. Clough Williams Ellis has enjoyed his architectural freedom) as a stretch of scenery very nearly supreme in quality. The railway is now derelict and its course will come on the market, after long delays. The route of the railway would make an ideal pathway for all who delight in scenic beauty ; and an appeal is going out from the Liverpool and District Ramblers Federation, who would wish to dedicate the track to the public for use as a footpath only. The Caernarvonshire County Council is sympathetic ; but some L2,000 is necessary to make the sympathy effective. Thousands outside as well as inside Wales will hope that Mr. Bob Owen, M.A., of the Caemarvonshire R.C.C. (148 High Street, Bangor) will find subscriptions pouring in, war or no war.
