In the heart of North Wales

The Blue Lion sits at the crossroads of the lovely village of Cynwyd which nestles between the town’s of Corwen and Bala in beautiful North Wales.  It’s a Grade 2 listed building which we have very tastefully renovated to accommodate the old values of a proper local pub and also a quiet, intimate place where you can sit and enjoy a delicious meal prepared by our award winning chef.

A place to explore

We’re situated between the enchanting towns of Corwen and Bala. North Wales is a testament to nature's artistry and historical grandeur.

Corwen, nestled in the heart of the Dee Valley, offers breathtaking landscapes where the rolling hills of the Berwyn range meet lush valleys, creating a picturesque setting that feels almost magical. Bala, famous for its stunning lake, Llyn Tegid, is the largest natural body of water in Wales. It presents a serene backdrop for a plethora of outdoor activities, such as sailing and hiking, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its tranquil beauty. Both towns are steeped in Welsh culture and history, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, heritage, and tranquility that captivate the heart of anyone who visits. This region's allure lies in its ability to preserve its natural charm and historical significance, making North Wales a beloved destination for those seeking both beauty and peace.
