    Another lovely welsh road, mainly quiet with a perfect view of Lake Bala. Bala is Wale's largest natural lake with it's deep and clear waters. The lake is popular for canoeing and sailing as well as being a perfect open water swimming spot, ideal for a quick cool down on a hot ride.
    The Llangower station is very small but does have a public toilet open at most hours so can be a welcome sight for a needy cyclist.

      Bala Lake is a large freshwater glacial lake in Gwynedd, Wales. The River Dee, which has its source on the slopes of Dduallt in the mountains of Snowdonia, feeds the 3.7 miles long by 0.5 miles wide lake.

        Llangower provides access to the lakeside for walks, picnics and bird watching. The stop also offers access to the car park and adjacent toilet facilities provided by the Snowdonia National Park.

        There is a passing loop and small signal box here which is used on gala days and for the pink timetable to allow trains to pass.

        A beautiful little picnic area for a stop and a break before cycling them hills again.
