GAERWEN, a hamlet in Anglesey; adjacent to the Chester and Holyhead railway, and to the Brain river, 6½ miles WSW of Bangor. It has a station on the railway, a post office under Bangor, and a good inn.
Gaerwen is now part of ISLE OF ANGLESEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how ISLE OF ANGLESEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gaerwen itself, go to Statistics.
