Walks Around Y Bala and Penllyn Guidebook

by: David Berry
Y Bala, meaning 'the outflow of the lake', has a beautiful setting on the shores of Llyn Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales, surrounded by hills and mountains within the southern area of the Snowdonia National Park. This is an area largely undiscovered and the 22 circular walks in this book explore its diverse landscape and provide an insight into the area's rich historical heritage.

There are walks across pastureland, over open hills and moorland, by rivers and lakes and through woods and forests and a superb upland circuit of Llyn Tegid. They offer superb views and visit many places of historical interest. The routes vary in length from 2 to 8 miles. A key feature is that individual routes, as well as containing shorter walks options, can easily be linked to provide longer day walks if required. The guide includes sketch maps with numbered cross references to the detailed route instructions.
