Llandrillo (or, in full, Llandrillo yn Edeirnion) is a small village and parish in the Edeirnion area of Merionethshire, on the B4401 road between Bala and Corwen.
It is named after Saint Trillo who came from Brittany with other missionaries and who founded Llandrillo church on a mound next to the Ceidiog stream close to its confluence with the River Dee.
