}}Llanferres is a village and community in the county of Denbighshire in Wales. At the 2001 Census the population of the village was recorded as 676,[1] increasing to 827 at the 2011 census.[2]

Geography

It is located 230 metres above sea level in the upper valley of the River Alyn on the A494 road between Ruthin and Mold.[3]

The village lies on the eastern slopes of the Clwydian Hills, just south of Moel Famau, and is wholly within the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[4] Offa's Dyke National Trail passes one mile to the southwest of the village. The Parish or Community Council of Llanferres area includes the village of Maeshafn and hamlets of Tafarn-y-Gelyn and Loggerheads.

Notable landmarks

The parish church, which is dedicated to St. Berres, was mentioned in the 'Lincoln Taxation' of 1291. It was largely rebuilt in 1774/1775, with additions in 1843. There were further additions, and a major restoration, in 1892.

Originally medieval, a now mainly Georgian and Victorian church with a jolly ‘lantern’ bellcote. The Church, adjacent Druid Inn and farm (private), form a pleasing group. A visit will be enhanced by the guide pamphlet available in the Church.[5]

Saint Berres, (with variations such as Brice or Britius) was a 4th-century to 5th-century Welsh hermit, who according to Thomas Pennant was a disciple of St. Martin of Tours, the Hungarian.

The village sits alongside the Welsh Assembly A494 Trunk Road on bus routes providing access to the nearest towns Mold and Ruthin.
