Llanuwchllyn is a small village on the southern edge of Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) in Gwynedd, North Wales. The village is home to the headquarters of Bala Lake Railway and indeed there are regular journeys throughout the day from Llanuwchllyn to the town of Bala some 4.5 miles away (seasonal).
The area is popular for walkers being close to the Cambrian range of mountains including Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy with Arenig Fawr being some 6 miles to the north west. If the mountains seem like too much hard work then there are walks on more level ground in the quiet lanes around the beautiful Bala lake. Watersports enthusiasts are well catered for with sailing, canoeing, rowing and windsurfing being available on Bala Lake.
