Excerpt from A Nation's Heritage
The train stops at Arthog', whose woods slope upward to grey-green pastures and sunny sky. Again the level flats are carpeted with thrift; another stop is made at a little junction, the train roars over the viaduct, which sprawls like a great millipede across the estuary mouth. This viaduct is not unknown in song, for Charles Tennyson Turner, the elder brother of the Laureate, who was on a visit to Barmouth at the time of its opening, chronicled the event in one of his exquisite sonnets.
