Trelawnyd

Trelawnyd is a village and community in Flintshire, Wales, located approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of Prestatyn and 4 miles (6 km) south of Rhyl. Historically part of the parish of Dyserth, it is situated on a hill overlooking the Vale of Clwyd.

The name Trelawnyd is believed to derive from the Welsh words "tre" (meaning town or settlement) and "Llawenydd" (meaning joy or happiness), thus translating roughly to "town of joy" or "happy town."

The village is characterised by its prominent landmark, the windmill, which stands on the highest point. While the current structure dates to the late 18th century, windmills have existed on the site since at least the 16th century. The windmill is a Grade II listed building.

Trelawnyd has a village hall, a primary school, and a public house. The surrounding area is primarily agricultural. The community also includes the hamlet of Marian-glas.

The electoral ward of Trelawnyd elects a county councillor to Flintshire County Council.
