Abstract
There were at least two distinct tours that attracted visitors: the North Wales tour, which was valued for its sublime mountain scenery and would typically take in sights such as the river Dee, Conway, Snowdon, and the famous Devil's Bridge near Aberystwyth; and the Wye Tour, which usually saw tourists travel by boat downstream from Ross to Chepstow, although this trip could be exBelow' tended, as it was for Bloomfield's party, by excursions into the surrounding countryside.5 Bloomfield had long dreamed of visiting Wales but such a tour would ordinarily have been far beyond the means of a shoemaker and crafter of Aeolian harps, considering the expense involved in traveling by coach, hiring boats and guides, and in accommodation, as well as two weeks of lost wages.
