Llyn Tegid

Route Description for Llyn Tegid

Note that this walk is a point-to-point trail, beginning near Bala and ending near Llanuwchllyn. It’s best to either have a car in each spot or be prepared to retrace your steps or loop around the north end of the lake.

The Llyn Tegid walk begins right beside the Loch Cafe on the Bala lakeshore. You’ll head left on an obvious footpath that traces the shoreline, eventually connecting with Tegid Street. Continue south on Tegid Street and cross the River Dee.

Once across the river, stay left at the first junction and then right at the next, where the path splits off from the B4391. Follow this trail as it gains elevation. You’ll connect with a more established track; follow this to the left for a few hundred metres and then take care to depart back onto the walking path (GPS will help you stay on track here).

You’ll skirt Is-Afon and then curve northwards beside a small stream. Continue north, crossing the stream before trailing west. This brings you closer to the shores.

Eventually, the trail will lead you onto the B4403 past the south end of the lake. You can take the road into Llanuwchllyn if completing as a point-to-point or retrace your steps if not.
