Bala Attractions

On the eastern edge of Snowdonia the A 4212 leads to Bala Lake, with the little market town of Bala (pop. 1,600), a lively holiday place at the foot of the Aran and Berwyn Mountains. Its main attractions are the 4mi/6km long lake, which offers ideal conditions for sailing and angling, and the Bala Lake Railway, a narrow-gauge railroad which runs along the shore of the lake.
