Bala is a town and community in Gwynedd, Wales. Formerly an urban district, Bala lies in the historic county of Merionethshire at the north end of Bala Lake. it has a wonderful village style feeling, and everyone speaks Welsh, which is truly amazing to hear.
They have some good shops and supermarkets. They have tiny little petrol stations on the curb, and they attendant comes out and serves you. Great roads in this area and some can be very steep in these parts, plenty of cyclists and motorcycles well worth a ride.

Bustling little town with plenty of pubs hotels b&bs etc. Centre for sports on the lake. Location highlighted is a nice cafe for coffee, snack or lunch. This was our stop for lunch before continuing. Bala has a bike shop in case you need repairs or spares.
