Llanfrothen (Welsh pronunciation) is a hamlet and community in the county of Gwynedd, Wales, between the towns of Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog and is 108.1 miles (174.0 km) from Cardiff.^[1]^[2] In 2011 the population of Llanfrothen was 437 with 70.1% of them able to speak Welsh.^[3]

Parc, a Grade II* Listed Building is within the community, as are the village of and the hamlet of Croesor.

The church at Llanfrothen is dedicated to St Brothen and is a Grade 1 listed building and is in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches

The church and parish achieved prominence throughout Wales in 1888 when David Lloyd George, then a young local solicitor, took a case involving burial rights in Llanfrothen churchyard on appeal to the Divisional Court of the Queen’s Bench Division. The case became known as the [cy], and decision of the Divisional Court established the right of the family of a deceased nonconformist to have his body buried in the parish churchyard, by a Baptist minister, and without using the Anglican burial service.^[4]
