Maes-yr-hedydd from the Bala by-pass
Until the late 20th century, the gentleman's residence of Maes yr Hedydd (lark's field) and its adjoining farmhouse, lay well outside the boundaries of the town of Bala. Since then it has been almost surrounded by new housing and road developments.

The Bala Backpackers Hostel, Tegid Square
A friendly independent hostel very conveniently located less than two minutes from Bala High Street and overlooking the pleasant Tegid Chapel Square with its statue of the Rev. Thomas Charles. Catering for individuals, families and groups, the hostel is conveniently located for a variety of outdoor activities, especially walking, sailing and white water rafting. This is my base for walking in this part of mid-Wales and it provides easy access to the Berwyn, Hirnant, Arenig, Aran and Cadair Idris ranges. In the early 1800s the building housed the Calvinistic Methodist seminary.
