Background
History
A medieval motte and bailey castle, Castell Gronw is near the outlet of the lake. In the Middle Ages, Llangywer was one of three parishes of the commote of Uwch Tryweryn in the cantref of Penllyn. Cwm Cynllwyd, which rises in the direction of Bwlch y Groes, marks the western boundary of the parish, which rises to the east towards the southern Berwyn mountains. It is a very mountainous area, with most of the habitations lying on the strip of low-lying land on the shore of Bala Lake. Llangywer is also notable for the folk song: (Farewell to the parish of Llangower, and the fair gentle Bala ...)
