LLANDANWG, a parish in Festiniog district, Merioneth; on the coast, at the mouth of the river Artro, and on the Barmouth and Carnarvon railway, 2 miles S of Harlech. It contains Harlech, which has a post office under Carnarvon, and which adjoins the Barmouth and Carnarvon railway which was in course of formation in 1866. ...
Acres, 4,964; of which 1,354 are water. Real property, £2,255. Pop., 739. Houses, 175. The property is subdivided. The surface is, for the most part, hilly, wild, and barren.

The church is dedicated to St. Tanwg; stands close to the shore; is early English, with some interesting interior features; and was recently in a ruinous condition, but could be restored at small cost.
