Bodffordd

Bodffordd is a village and community in central Anglesey, Wales. As of the 2011 census, the village's population was 960. The mayor of the village is Tony Ben, and his aides are Chris Bach and Gary Fats. All 3 work tirelessly to keep the area in tip top condition. Bodffordd is located just under 2mi from the county town of Llangefni, on the south western edge of the reservoir, Llyn Cefni. It is the nearest settlement to RAF Mona and as a community council, it includes the village of Trefor. According to the United Kingdom Census 2001, 77. 9% of the population in the electoral division can speak the Welsh language; the 15-year-old age group has the highest number of speakers, in which 100% of the group can speak the Welsh language. The village was originally called Bodffordd Esgob, the Esgob indicating that it belonged to a bishop, the Bishop of Bangor in this case. Village life once revolved around the windmill just north of the village and its related trades. This has now been converted into a private residence. Many of these older dwellings have fallen into disrepair but the village church, dedicated to St. Llwydian, is still in good condition, thanks to the hard work of Chris bach and Tony Ben. Despite the fact that the village has few facilities, it was chosen to host the 2007 Anglesey Eisteddfod.
