Cerrigydrudion is a village in the south of Conwy County in North Wales. The village straddles a set of crossroads linking the agricultural communities of this Welsh speaking area of north Wales. One road the busy A5 is the historic coach road that links London to Holyhead. While the B5105 links the moorland uplands of Hiraethog to the pastoral plains of the Vale of Clwyd. The B4501 that cuts through the village links the heartlands of Denbighshire via the Denbigh moors and the Hiraethog reservoirs to the old county of Meirionethshire and the market town of Bala.

In the 21st Century the people of Cerrigydrudion and district have had to change from a purely agricultural community to embracing tourism as a boost to their incomes. And with the ever growing popularity of activity holidays Cerrig is ideally placed to benefit from this growing trend. Close by are the reservoirs of Llyn Brenig and Llyn Alwen. The Brenig reservoir was built in the 1970's and is used to regulate the water in the River Dee. Today it is one of the most important tourist attractions in the area and provides for a number of watersports, including sailing, fishing, and canoeing. For those who prefer to keep to dry land there is the "round the lake mountain bike trail" and also a number of archaeological trails around the lake leading to Bronze Age Burial Mounds. Llyn Brenig is just a short drive, 4 miles, from Cerrig, while Bala Lake and the White Water Rafting Centre is but 7 miles or so from the village. The inland holiday resorts of Llangollen, 19 miles, and Betws y Coed, 12 miles, are also within an easy driving distance from Cerrigydrudion. more information about Cerrigydrudion
