Map of the community

Cynwyd (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈkənwɨd] ) is a small village and community in the Edeirnion area of Denbighshire in Wales, located about 2 miles (3 km) south west of the town of Corwen. It had a population of 528 in 2001,[1] increasing to 542 at the census 2011,[2] and is home to a large factory, run by Ifor Williams Trailers.

The Berwyn range can be reached from here.

Gwerclas Hall is situated approximately 1 mile (1.5 km) north-west of Cynwyd village. The present grade II* listed building dates mainly to 1767 and was built for Hugh Hughes Lloyd, replacing a house that had stood on the site for several hundred years. It was constructed in three storeys with a three-bay frontage and a central pedimented porch entrance.[3] The Gwerclas estate became part of the Rhug estate in 1824 on the death of Richard Hughes until it was sold in 1972.

Cynwyd railway station was formerly a station on the Ruabon to Barmouth line; it closed to passengers on 18 January 1965.
