Bala Cave

[Ian A]

Location
SH 882 354 (Approx)

Directions
From Bala, drive along Llyn Tegid heading to Dolgellau and take a right hand turn near the end of the lake (far end) to “Parc” (sign posted 1.5 miles). Enter the village, over the small river bridge and turn left as you come out following the road up and through a farm until you come to a sharp right turn (signed “dead end” if you try to go straight ahead). Take the sharp right turn and drive a few hundred yards until you see a public footpath through a gate on the right.

Walk through the gate and follow the path crossing TWO boundary fences (one stile and one gate). At the second fence (a gate) head down to the stream immediately and it is just to your right.
