Brynrefail (Welsh pronunciationⓘ) is a small village in north-east Anglesey, Wales.

Location

Brynrefail is located in the civil parish of Moelfre on the A5025 between Amlwch and Benllech.[1]

Amenities

Brynrefail Chapel was built in the 19th century, with the cause established in 1852 and a headstone dating to 1896. The chapel was still in use in 1999.[2]

Brynrefail also contains a community hall which was re-opened in 2005,[3] and previously contained a craft shop and food outlet named Anglesey Good Gifts.[4][5] Tyddyn Mon, a 'Learning Disability Wales' centre, is found in the village.[6]

The village is on bus route 62 which runs between Bangor and Amlwch, providing access to Dulas Bay and Lligwy Bay.[7]

Four men from the village lost their lives in World War I. Their names are displayed on the village war memorial next to the chapel.[8]
