5.6 miles (9 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap Enjoy a cycle ride along the beautiful Bala Lake. The route starts on the foreshore in Bala by the visitor centre. It then runs along the southern side of the lake to Llanuwchllyn where you can catch the splendid Bala Lake railway back to Bala. There are super views of the crystal clear lake and of the surrounding Mountains of Snowdonia.
To continue your cycling around Snowdonia you could pick up the circular Bwlch y Groes Cycle Route. This challenging climb takes you to the second highest public road mountain pass in Wales, with a summit altitude of 545 metres (1,788 ft). It also visits Lake Vyrnwy at the south eastern end of the ride.
