Bala Lake Railway Trust

the bala lake railway is a 4½-mile narrow gauge railway, established over 40 years ago on a former great western railway track bed. the visitors are almost all entirely tourists and it is one of the thirteen narrow gauge railways of wales. deep in the heart of the snowdonia national park from its start point at llanuwchllyn, the line runs parallel to bala lake and descends to almost lake level offering the visitor spectacular views of the lake itself and the lush surrounding pasture and woodlands that leads the eye to the stunning vista of mountains arenig fawr, aran benllyn and aran fawddwy. picnic sites at llangower provide the perfect spot for a break in the journey on a summer's day for a picnic on the foreshore.
