Llysfaen is a village and community in Conwy County Borough overlooking the north coast of Wales. For local government purposes, it is also a ward. ==Introduction== Llysfaen located one kilometre (0.6 miles) inland, halfway between the coastal towns of Abergele and Colwyn Bay. Neighbouring villages include Old Colwyn, Llanddulas, Dolwen and Betws-yn-Rhos. To its immediate west is Mynydd Marian, a mountain known for its limestone grassland and the rare dwarf sub-species of the Silver-studded Blue butterfly. Llysfaen also holds spectacular views, overlooking the Irish sea, as well as kinmel bay, Rhyl, and the Prestatyn mountains, this implements the llysfaen residents superiority to all the other neighbouring villages, as they "have the high ground". The council ward, including the village centre and surrounding precincts, occupies 5.11 square kilometres (1,260 acres, 511 hectares). The community's population has remained relatively static in recent times and was 2,652 at the census held in 2001.〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Conwy'' )〕 The community is currently part of Conwy County Borough. However, it historically formed an exclave of Caernarfonshire assumed by the surrounding Denbighshire in 1923; subsequent local government reorganisation saw it administered as part of Clwyd (1974–1996). The name, ''Llysfaen'' is Welsh for ''stone court'' (i.e. a court built of stone). Throughout much of Llysfaen's recent history, many of its villagers worked at the nearby Llysfaen and Llanddulas Limestone Quarry from where lime was shipped to Liverpool or Fleetwood using Raynes Jetty in Llanddulas Bay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llysfaen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
