All about Bala
The small town of Bala sits on Lake Bala/Llyn Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales, inside Snowdonia National Park. 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. You’ll find some of the country’s best trail centres and downhill biking courses around Bala. And for keen road cyclists, there are challenging, scenic mountain passes that are excellent for a long bike ride.
This important place in Welsh history and culture is home to castles, museums, and historic estates. 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. The town also has several impeccably landscaped gardens, as well as cosy cafes, restaurants, and pubs.
