In Spring 2023, work on a new flood defence at the end of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) was completed. The work included providing a trackbed for the proposed extension of the Bala Lake Railway into the centre of Bala. The path alongside the railway trackbed is on a loop of the Cross Britain Way long distance path into the centre of Bala. The town is situated on the edge of Snowdonia National Park.
