Map of the UK

Llanycil is a small rural parish in Gwynedd, north Wales, sitting on the southern and western fringes of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) close to the market town of Bala. The landscape mixes lakeshore, rolling uplands, moor and patches of conifer forest on the edge of Snowdonia, giving easy access to walking, fishing and watersports.

Historically it has been an agricultural, Welsh‑speaking community; farming and forestry remain central while tourism tied to the lake and nearby hills brings seasonal trade. The parish retains a quiet, village feel with an older church and scattered farmsteads, making it a good example of rural life in this part of north Wales.
