Llanllyfni is a small village in Gwynedd, Wales, tucked into the Nantlle Valley with the craggy ridges of Snowdonia National Park close by. It sits in a landscape shaped by former slate workings and farmland, with views that make it a handy base for exploring the mountains or the nearby harbour town of Caernarfon.

The village has a strong Welsh-speaking identity and a history tied to the 19th‑century slate industry, alongside continuing agriculture and a degree of commuting to larger towns. Social life traditionally revolves around chapels, community halls and local events, and the area attracts walkers and outdoor visitors who appreciate its mix of industrial heritage and rugged scenery.
