Dolgellau Dolgellau is a small but bustling working market town which developed due to its central role in the woollen industry. The town has a range of shops including chemists, bakery, supermarket, green grocers and clothes shops. Bala Approximately 12 miles away is the market town of Bala which sits at the head of the largest natural lake in Wales, Llyn Tegid. The lake is four miles long and a mile wide and has a narrow gauge railway running alongside it. Unsurprisingly the area is renowned for its water sport activities including fishing and sailing. There are also fantastic places to walk and cycle nearby.
