The main A5 road passing through Gaerwen

Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog (occasionally spelt Llanfihangel Esgeifiog or Llanfihangelesgeifiog) is a parish in Anglesey, to the east of Llangefni.

The parish includes such villages as Gaerwen and Pentre Berw. It also includes the Malltraeth Marsh RSPB reserve.

Coal was mined in the area from the 15th to the 18th centuries.[1]

Old St Michael's parish church

The old parish church of St Michael, less than a mile from Gaerwen, now lies in ruins. It was replaced by the new church of St Michael in Gaerwen, in 1847.[2]
