Rhydydefaid Farm is ideally situated for touring North and Mid Wales, indeed, one would have difficulty  finding a location as central for touring as the Bala area. We are within an hour's spectacular drive of most of the coastal resorts of Mid and North Wales, not to mention the innumerable beauty spots and magnificent views within the interior of this beautiful region.

There are interesting shops, inns, restaurants and an intriguing historical Town Walk. 

Bala boasts it’s own lake - Bala Lake or Llyn Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales, alongside which runs a charming narrow-gauge steam railway.

Llyn Tegid is the home of a unique fish, the Gwyniad (that's for real, not a legend) which is said to date back to the Ice-Age.
