Aberangell is a village in south-east Merionethshire, adjacent to the border with Montgomeryshire.
It stands at the confluence of the River Angell and the River Dovey, both of which here form the county border. Some of the village lies across the Angell in Montgomeryshire. Aberangell had a passenger railway station on the Mawddwy Railway between 1867 and 1931, with freight carried until 1952. It was also the terminus of the narrow-gauge Hendre-Ddu Tramway.
Aberangell post office closed in October 2008.[1] In 1993 and 2008 Aberangell won Calor Village of the Year in Wales.
