Llanllyfni is a village and community in Gwynedd, Wales, set in the heart of the Nantlle Valley beneath the craggy ridges of Snowdonia and within easy reach of Caernarfon. The surrounding landscape of hills, old slate tips and small farms gives the area a distinctive, rugged character.
Historically shaped by the 19th‑century slate industry and its nearby quarries, the community remains strongly Welsh‑speaking with active local chapels, a primary school and regular cultural events; the local economy today combines agriculture, tourism and commuter links, while a close social fabric and interest in heritage keep traditional music and Welsh customs alive.
