Llangoed is a small village just north of Beaumaris, in the eastern peninsula of the Isle of Anglesey. The village had a population of about 1,275 in 2001.
The village's name means the 'church in the wood'.
Llangoed is on the banks of a brook called the River Lleiniog, which flows from the hamlet of Glanrafon to the sea, beneath the ruins of an 11 century motte-and-bailey castle, Castell Aberlleiniog.
The 17th-century parish church of St Cawrdaf, restored in the 19th century, is in the north of the village, near a Victorian school and chapel.
The modern centre of the village is a steep hill lined by cottages, a Post Office, grocery store and chapel. To the south of the village is a primary school, Ysgol Gynradd Llangoed, and small housing estates. Sports fields are the location of an annual Rugby sevens competition. Undulating green farmland surrounds the village, with fine views to the Menai Strait, the Irish Sea and the mountains of Snowdonia.
