Bala is a market town and community in Gwynedd, Wales. Formerly an urban district, Bala lies within the historic county of Merionethshire. Bala lies at the north end of Bala Lake (Welsh: Llyn Tegid), 17 miles (27 km) north-east of Dolgellau.
Bala is little more than one wide street, Stryd Fawr (High Street, literally Great Street). The High Street and its shops can be quite busy in the summer months with many tourists. Bala was ranked having the 20th highest percentage of Welsh language speakers in Wales by electoral division, in the United Kingdom
Set within the Bala Fault, Bala Lake (Welsh: Llyn Tegid) is the largest natural lake in Wales at almost 4 miles in length and half a mile wide. At 138 feet, its depths could hide the tower of St Giles Church in Wrexham and still have 3 feet of water above. The lake has occasionally been known to freeze over—most recently in the severe winters of 1947 and 1963. The rare Gwyniad fish — trapped in the lake at the end of the last Ice Age, some 10,000 years ago — is in danger because its natural home is increasingly unsuitable. A member of the whitefish family, it is found only in Bala Lake.
Cwm Hirnant, a valley running south from Bala, gives its name to the Hirnantian Age in the Ordovician Period of geological time. Bala lies on the A494, a major trunk road that leads to Dolgellau, 18 miles to the southwest, and to Ruthin, Mold and Queensferry to the northwest. The closest major urban areas to Bala are Wrexham at 30 miles, Chester at 40 miles, and Liverpool, 52 miles to the northeast.
The Afon Tryweryn, a river fed from Llyn Celyn which runs through Bala, is world-famous for its white water kayaking. International governing bodies, the International Canoe Federation, the European Canoe Union and the British Canoe Union all hold national and international events there. The Canolfan Tryweryn National Whitewater Centre has its home in Bala. There are at least three local campsites that cater for the influx of canoeists from many parts of the world.
An annual music festival known as 'Wa Bala' is also held in the town. The venue hosts local Welsh bands and is similar in format to Dolgellau's Sesiwn Fawr. Nearby are the mountains Aran Fawddwy and Arenig Fawr. Coleg y Bala is at the top of the hill on the road towards Llyn Celyn. The Victoria Hall is a small old cinema, that had been a community hall. There are several chapels: notably Capel Mawr and Capel Bach. The livestock market on Arenig Street is still going strong. Bro Eryl estate was built just after World War II.

Canoeing: 8 Year Old Paddling Solo on a Journey
Maya Rose canoeing the length of Llyn Tegid (Bala), Snowdonia
I been waiting for a while but eventually the right conditions arrived: warm, gentle breeze from the south west and the right company. My little Maya Rose was to solo paddle a canoe from one end of Llyn Tegid (Bala) to the other.
We used to a bit of tracking to get her around the head of the lake to where what upper portion of the Afon Dyfrdwy (Dee) enters. That gave a better starting point for our run down to Bala.
Eventually we will get the right size boat for her but with the assistance of the breeze it was a great adventure. She is so proud of herself.
Maya is eight years old.

The Poo Canoe Lake Bala
After early teething trouble with the waterproofing resin the Poo Canoe was reskinned and waterproofed with beeswax and then paddled up and down Lake Bala on a beautiful day at racing speed to see if its going to stand up to the channel crossing. It passes with flying colours and luckily I packed a camera to get Lez's thoughts after we had done the first 4 miles in record time . . .
