Llannerchymedd, or Llannerch-y-medd is a small Anglesey village, found near the centre of the island close to Llyn Alaw, the large water supply reservoir, and the village is believed to have an ancient foundation. Llannerch means "a woodland clearing". The word medd in the name is Welsh for mead, which is made from honey, and the name may be related to the collection of honey for mead.
The disused Anglesey Central Railway runs through the village: The station was closed during the Beeching Axe, and the goods yard is now a car park.
