Y Faenol

About

Y Faenol ward lies on the northern coast of Gwynedd, stretching from the Menai Strait inland across a mix of residential and rural land. The area includes the community of Bontnewydd and parts of the outskirts of Caernarfon, with housing estates situated alongside agricultural fields. Its boundaries encompass the A487 trunk road, a major transport route connecting to the wider region. The landscape gently rises from the strait towards the foothills, offering views across the water to Anglesey.

A notable feature is the presence of the Bryncir Industrial Estate, which provides local employment. The ward is also home to Parc Glynllifon, a historic country park with woodland walks and heritage features. The Menai Strait itself defines much of the coastal character, with its tidal waters and mudflats. This area serves primarily as a residential and light industrial zone for the western side of the Menai Strait.
