Travelling from the North, turn off the A5 onto the A494 pass through the tiny villages of Glanrafon (also called Glan-y-Rafon) and Bethel. Until you get to our tiny village of Llanfor. From the South, pass through Bala and keep on the A494 to the next village of Llanfor.
Historic sites, monuments and legends abound in this part of Wales and you can travel back through time through museums and sites. There is a charming steam railway too, which travels the length of the lake and is the ideal way to enjoy it. Then there are the castles, North Wales is renowned for them and we are close to more than half a dozen exceptional, haunting and memorable relics of the past.
Sometimes, because of cancellations etc; we have late bookings available – so please do not hesitate to contact us, however short your timescale might be.
Like most places in Wales, Bala has a colourful Welsh history - there is the legend of a lost palace beneath the lake for starters. Another tale tells that Welsh emigrants to Patagonia in Chile in 1865, came mainly from the Bala area - even today there are still Welsh speaking people in Chile, descended from these original emigrants.
Lake Bala is the largest natural lake in Wales. In the depths of the Lake live the rare white scaled Salmon - Gwyniad. They lurk 80 feet down in the lake, and can only be caught by net. Why not contact us so we can tell you more of the wonders of the area.
