Llangernyw is a small, dispersed rural community in the county of Conwy in north Wales, set among rolling uplands and moorland on the fringes of Snowdonia. The landscape is classic hill‑farm country with quiet lanes and footpaths that attract walkers and those looking for a peaceful base near the Conwy Valley.
Its long history is most famously marked by an ancient yew in the village churchyard often dated at several thousand years old, and the old parish church and scattered stone farmsteads reflect a strong medieval and agricultural heritage. The local economy remains largely farming‑based with a modest contribution from tourism, and the community retains a lively Welsh cultural identity through language, chapel and village events.
