^{*************}

^{Llanycil is a community in the county of Gwynedd, Wales, near Bala, and is 99.9 miles (160.7km) from Cardiff and 176.2 miles (283.6km) from London.[1][2] In 2011 the population of Llanycil was 416 with 80.4% of them able to speak Welsh.[3]}

^{Thomas Charles (1755-1814) of Bala, the Calvinistic Methodist minister and founder of the British and Foreign Bible Society, is buried in the village churchyard.[4]}

^{Llyn Tegid (Welsh: Llyn Tegid, [ˈɬɨ̞n ˈtɛɡɨd]), also known in English as Bala Lake ([ˈbala]), is a lake in Gwynedd, Wales. The name Tegid may be related to Welsh teg, meaning "fair". It was the largest natural body of water in Wales before its level was raised by Thomas Telford to help support the flow of the Ellesmere Canal. It is 3.7 miles (6.0 km) long by 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide. The River Dee runs through it and the waters of the lake are deep and clear. The town of Bala sits at its north-eastern end and the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway runs for 3 miles (4.8 km) along the lake's south-eastern shore, and continues south-westward to the village of Llanuwchllyn (whose name means "church ['llan'] above ['uwch'] the lake ['llyn']").[3]}
