Eglwysbach is a small rural community in Conwy county borough, a few miles inland from the North Wales coast and the larger towns of Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. Its Welsh name, meaning "little church", reflects the village's origins and setting in the gentle hills and lanes of the Conwy valley close to the River Conwy, with a landscape shaped by mixed farming and estate woodlands.
The community is probably best known for nearby Bodnant Garden, a nationally important Victorian and Edwardian garden that brings seasonal visitors and underpins a local tourism economy, while village life remains centred on farming, small businesses, the church and community events. Historic estate landscapes and a quiet village atmosphere give Eglwysbach a distinctly rural character with links to horticulture, conservation and heritage tourism.
