All about Bala

Framed by rolling green hills, Bala is a great jumping-off point for exploring Gwynedd’s spectacular lakes, rivers, waterfalls, forests, and mountains. The waterways around Bala are popular for fishing, canoeing, and rafting, while the mountain forests are ideal for hiking and mountain biking.

The imposing hilltop fortress of Dolwyddelan Castle sits less than an hour to the west, while the Byd Mary Jones World heritage centre just south of town tells the story of a 15-year-old local who forged her own path in 1800.
