The bustling market town of Bala is located within the beautiful Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, at the head of Llyn Tegid, Bala’s famous lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and home to the Gwyniad, an Ice Age relic. Bala is well-known for its great watersports, such as fishing, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, and whitewater rafting, and it also serves as the headquarters for the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway. The town itself is rich in history, with a variety of interesting shops, inns, and restaurants, as well as a historical Town Walk. This is a mecca for climbing, walking, mountain biking, and many other outdoor activities, surrounded on one side by the wonderful Berwyn Mountains and on the other by the beautiful Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountain Range. A great base for exploring North and Mid Wales, including the stunning Cambrian Bay Coast with its six-mile-long Harlech Beach, which is overlooked by a majestic mediaeval castle. A truly wonderful area of Wales that caters to all interests.
