About

Glyder ward encompasses a rugged portion of northwestern Gwynedd, stretching from the shores of the Menai Strait inland across the foothills of the Glyderau mountains. The area includes the village of Llanfairfechan and its surrounding agricultural land. The landscape is dominated by the rising slopes of the Carneddau range, with upland pastures giving way to rocky outcrops.

A significant feature is the Aber Falls (Rhaeadr Fawr), a notable waterfall on the Afon Goch where water cascades over a sheer cliff face. The ward contains sections of the Wales Coast Path, offering views across to Anglesey. Land use is primarily pastoral, with scattered farms and small settlements situated within the dramatic topography shaped by glacial activity.
