Llangystennin was a civil parish in Caernarvonshire, Wales until 1934. In that year the parish was abolished and split between Conwy Municipal Borough and Llandudno Urban District. An earlier transfer to Conwy occurred in 1928.
- The Wikipedia article has been edited (2017) and now reads as follows:
Llangystennin (sometimes spelt Llangwstennin) is a rural parish to the southeast of Llandudno and Llanrhos in Conwy County Borough, north Wales.
Llangystennin includes Llangwstennin Hall, the villages of Mochdre, Pabo and Bryn Pydew and the small town of Llandudno Junction.
