Llangian is nestled at the foot of a steep hill below Mynytho, about a mile from the beach at Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth). The popular tourist resort of Abersoch is less than two miles away, yet Llangian retains it's peaceful atmosphere.

This pretty little village is centred around it's small church and the junction between roads to Llanengan, Mynytho and Botwnnog/Rhiw, where there is also a small post office. Llangian has won awards for the tidiest village in Wales.
