Bala has been a market town since it was founded by royal charter around 1310 by Roger de Mortimer, and it sits beside a lake that's one of a kind in Wales.
The largest natural lake in Wales
Llyn Tegid, or Bala Lake, is over four miles long and a mile wide at its widest point, making it the largest natural lake in the country. It's home to the gwyniad, a rare freshwater fish that became trapped in the lake at the end of the last Ice Age roughly 10,000 years ago and survives nowhere else in the wild.
A stronghold of the Welsh language
Bala remains one of the strongest Welsh-speaking communities in the country, and has hosted the National Eisteddfod three times, in 1967, 1997 and 2009. The Bala Lake Railway, one of the Great Little Trains of Wales, still runs alongside the water today.
Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
Bala's history is built on water and Welsh culture, not confectionery — so pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases for the town come by delivery, the same as the rest of Gwynedd and the UK.
