Something for everyone

The historical market town of Bala boasts many activities, and places of interest. Llyn Tegid, or ‘Bala lake’ is the largest natural lake in Wales, which also, according to the legend, is the home of ‘Tegi’ the monster that lives in the deep waters. On the lake you could take part in activities such as sailing or kayaking, or a leisurely ride on the narrow gauge steam railway that runs from Bala to the quiet village of Llanuwchllyn, where you could have a drink and a pub meal at the Eagles Inn.
