Hendre is an electoral ward in Gwynedd, Wales, largely residential in character with a name that comes from the Welsh for an "old homestead" or winter dwelling. The area grew out of rural and agricultural roots during the 20th century into a mix of council and private housing, local shops and community facilities, and is typical of north‑west Gwynedd in offering easy access to coastal and upland landscapes such as the Menai Strait and Snowdonia, which shape both leisure and local identity.
Socially and culturally the ward tends to have a strong Welsh‑speaking presence and a close‑knit community life, with local clubs, events and services geared towards families and older residents alike. Economically residents commonly commute to nearby towns for work or are employed in local public services and small businesses, while tourism in the wider region brings seasonal trade and footfall to neighbourhood amenities.
