The Seven Wonders of Wales are recounted in the following verse by an anonymous author:
Pistyll Rhaeadr and Wrexham steeple,
Snowdon's mountain without its people,
Overton yew trees, St Winefride's wells,
Llangollen bridge and Gresford bells
Strictly speaking all seven wonders lie in North Wales. The original author of the rhyme is unknown but it is supposed that it was written sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century by an English visitor to North Wales.
