The Tower of Bala (30 feet (9 m) high by 50 feet (15 m) diameter) is a tumulus or “moat-hill”, formerly thought to mark the site of a Roman camp. In the 18th century, the town was well known for the manufacture of flannel, stockings, gloves and hosiery. In 1800 a 15-year-old girl, Mary Jones, walked the 25 miles (40 km) from her home village Llanfihangel-y-Pennant to purchase a Welsh bible in Bala.
