“ . . . . . Time
Has mouldered into beauty many a tower,
Which, when it frowned with all its battlements,
Was only terrible.” . . . . —MASON.
[Illustration: DOLFORWYN CASTLE.]
DOLFORWYN CASTLE, MONTGOMERY.
Dolforwyn, or “The Maiden’s Meadow,” is a name evidently transposed
from the meads of the adjacent Severn to the ridge occupied by the
castle, which rises 500 feet or 600 feet above, and half a mile west
of, the river, from which it is separated by an intervening hill. The
approach is by a steep road, which becomes still more so near the top
of the ridge, and finally skirts along, and is commanded by, the works
of the castle.
