Llandegfan

Llandegfan ("The Church of St. Tegfan" in Welsh) is a village on the south of Anglesey, North Wales.

The original village "Hen Llandegfan" was on the ancient way from the crossing of the Menai Strait at Porthaethwy via Pentraeth to Beaumaris. St. Tegfan's church, the mother church of Beaumaris, has been highly restored.

Llandegfan has expanded greatly in recent decades and is continuing to expand in the 21st century notably in the extension to the Mill Lodge estate and along Lon Ganol. Almost all of this expansion is centred around the modern village centre to the south and east of the old windmill. The expansion of the village is due to a number of factors including the proximity to Bangor where many of the residents of Llandegfan work, its proximity to the A55 and the excellent views from the village over to the mountains of Snowdonia.

It is also noteworthy as the village where Aled Jones grew up and attended the village primary school.
