NORTH WALES.
CAPITAL FREEHOLD ESTATES.
CARNAR.VONSHIRE AND ANGLESEY.

In the month of. MAY next, of whiCh due notice will be pub-
lished, unless in the meantime disposed of b rivate Cou-
tract,
►MANSION: DEMESNE, and L. DS of BORE-
AL GROES, situate in the Parish of Ll.' or, in the County
of Carnarvon, together with several Capit•, ..lessuages,
Dwel-
ling-houses, Tenements, Farms, and .Lands, with the Appur-
tenances, in the several Parishes of Llannor, Denioi.Town of
Pwllheli, Penrhos, Abercirch, Llanannon, Bottwier, Meill-
tvrne, Aberdaron, Bryncroes, and Bodverin, in the County
,of
Carnarvon and Llarmfrygarn in the County of Anglesea.
The Mansion is a gOod, substantial, and comfortable family
residence, (replete with conveniences,) with suitable Offices and
Farm-buildings in eXcellent repair, the whole of which are well
sheltered by Timber. The lawn is tastefully laid out, and
planted with Shrubs and Evergreens, and the Grounds are -di-
versified with trees, and plantations of promising and luxuriant
growth, which, in a few years, will give a new character to the
place. They afford a fair stock of Game, and the west side of
the demesne and adjoining Farms are bounded by an excellent
Trout Stream. The Wall, Kitchen Garden, and Orchard, are
fertile, and in a productive state.
The Mansion is situated about a mile and a half from the
Market, and sea-port Town of Pwllheli, where a Mail-coach
daily arrives from and starts to London, and meets at the City
of Barwor conieyances to all parts of the United Kingdom.
The Roads are good in most directions, the Rides and Drives
varied and interesting, and the air 'considered most mild and
salubrious. •
Cardigan Bay, which is immediately approached from the
Port of Pwllheli, affords the finest beach for S'ea-bathing in
Nhrth Wales.
There are several compact Farms, forming part of the pro-
pertY on sale, connected with the Mansion and Demesne.
The poor-rates are moderate. •
The rest of this-Estate consists of upwaids of forty compact
and valuable Farms, with substantial Houses and Outbuildings,
(most of them rebuilt within the last twenty years,) in good re-
pair, capable ofiroprovement, and all within a convenient dis-
tance of lime and manure.
Also, of several Dwelling-houses in the Town of Pwllheli,
Cottages, Grullets, and Gardens.
The 'lroperty in Pwllheli, being centrally situated,,is 'well
adapted for Shops and Trade, and the Grollets in the immediate
neighbourhood of the town afford sites for the building of neat
dwellings to command fine marine views in Cardigan Bay, and
the most magnificent mountain scenery.
On the property in the pai;_di of Aberdawon there is a Lime-
stone Rock, which has only been recently discovered, and is
now quarried and worked upon a large settle, and independent
of affording' means of improvement to the adjoining portion of
the estate, consisting of from 700 to 800 acres, supplies a lame
district of country with lime.
.New Kilns dud Railways are now for Ming upon this Work.
which will, in consequence, be carried on upon a larger and
more extended scale of operation early in the ensuing- Spring.
This Property also abounds with pure Chert Rock, used in
lining of China Mills' and of which an annual simply of sonic
hundred tons to the Port of Runcorn, for the use of the Staf-
fordshire Potteries, might be contracted for, upon terms to make
an ample remunerating profitable return.
Also, an extensive Stratum of Clay, of extraordinary tena-
city and superior quality for making brick, which might. be ex-
ported to South Wales, and the Ports in the Bristol Channel,
with great advantage to such a work.
The Port of Pohor is within half a mile of the above articles
of Limestone, Chert, and Clay, and from which a large export
of farm produce is made annually to the LiverpoorMarket.
There are several thriving Plantations upon the Properties
iu the Parishes of Llannor and Abercirch, of which Oak, most
carefully and judiciously trained and managed to become fine
timber, is the prevailing tree.
The grand project of a Railway from the Port of Porthdin-
llain, as the chief 'communication between 'England and Ire-
land, will run through or parallel with a considerable portion of
this estate, and afford to it generally the imnortant advantage-
of transporting produce at 'a low rate to the English markets.
The Nanhoran Harriers hunt three times a-week within a few
miles distance.

The Farms in Carnarvonshire are bounded by the Properties
of the Right Honourable Lord Newborough, the Honourable
Edward Mostyn Lloyd Mostyn, M.P., Sir Robert Williams
Vaughan, Bart., M.P., Thos. Assheton Smith, Esq., M.P.,
Colonel Parry, M.P., 'Richard Lloyd Edwards, Esq., Robert
Watkin Wynne, Esq., Thomas Parry Jones Parry, Esq , Ri-
chard Watkin Price, .Esq , Lewis Moore Bennett, Esq., Rev.
Owen Gothin Williams, Robert Thomas Carreg, Esq., Richard
Jones, Esq., Mrs. Ellis, &c., and those in Anglesey by the Right
Hon. Lord Boston, &c.
The intended Sale presents a very desirable opportunity for
the advantageous investment of capital, and such as seldom of-
fers itself in North Wales.

A considerable portion of the purchase money may remain on
security of the Property.
The Furniture at the Mansion, as well as the Farm Stock and
Produce, may be had at a valuation, and possession taken at All
Saint's next.

Particulars, more descriptive of the Estate and Lots, will be
ready on the 25th of March next. and may be had on applica-
tion to Mr. HENRY RUMSEY WiLLtAMS, Solicitor, Penrhos,
near Carnarvon, who is authorised to treat in the meantime for
the sale of the whole Property by Private Contract.
