Y Groeslon is an electoral ward and village in Gwynedd in north‑west Wales, lying on the A487 a few miles south of Caernarfon and on the edge of Snowdonia. The ward covers a small rural catchment and returns a councillor to Gwynedd Council.
The community is largely Welsh‑speaking with a strong rural identity: farming, small local businesses and village amenities shape daily life, while historic chapels and community halls remain focal points. Its scenic setting - rolling farmland with easy access to coast and mountains - makes it popular with walkers and commuters who value close links to nearby towns.
