Welcome to
Llanegryn
Community Council
This is a lovely area in the south west of
Meirionnydd, with a wealth of history and
heritage. There is a lively society here, with a
buzz of social and cultural life.
The population within the boundaries of the
Community Council is scattered. The largest number
live in the village of Llanegryn, where there is a record
of a population around the Church since the 13th
Century. Today there is a Chapel, School and Village
Hall which serves a wider area.
To the east of the village is Ystad y Peniarth, which was
once known for collecting and preserving manuscripts.
They are now in the National Library, and are
considered to be of huge importance.
The residents work in agriculture, tourism and other
services, and many travel out of the area for a variety
of jobs. Many also work from home.
Llanegryn Community Council is part of the Snowdonia
National Park with a variety of habitats. The Council's
boundary encompasses the beautiful area of the
Dysynni valley, where much of the land has been
drained and improved in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, and where a unique drainage system exists
to this day.
