More about this scene
This spacious town lies at the head of Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid), the largest natural lake in Wales, with a narrow-gauge railway running along its south-eastern shore. It is ringed round by mountains and is now a major watersports centre, though in the 18th century it was renowned for its woollen industry. In Bala's spacious tree-lined High Street we can see the White Lion (centre right) and a pleasing mixture of building styles.
