Llanfairfechan is a small seaside town on the north coast of Wales, in Conwy county borough. It sits between the Irish Sea and the lower slopes of Snowdonia, offering coastal promenades and easy access to mountain walks; the A55 and the north coast railway make it a convenient stop between Llandudno and Bangor.

Once a modest Victorian seaside resort, the town now combines tourism, local services and a commuter population while retaining a strong sense of community and a relatively high proportion of Welsh speakers. Its mix of Victorian and stone-built houses, quiet beaches and hill paths make it popular with walkers and families looking for a quieter base from which to explore the coast and national park.
