About

Glyn ward encompasses the coastal village of Llanfairfechan and its surrounding rural landscape. The area is defined by the presence of the Irish Sea to the north and the rising terrain of the Carneddau mountains to the south. This creates a distinct environment where the community is situated between the water and the lower mountain slopes. The ward's layout follows this geography, with residential areas concentrated along the coast.

A notable feature is the presence of the North Wales Path, a long-distance trail that traverses the ward's coastline and upland fringes. The area includes the National Trust's Plas yn Llan estate, with its historic house and gardens. Economic activity has traditionally been connected to the sea and local agriculture, with tourism centered on the promenade and access to the surrounding natural landscapes.
