Pandy Tudur

Pandy Tudur is a village in Conwy county borough, in the north-west of Wales. It lies 5 miles northeast of Llanrwst.

Origins of the name
The name was originally Pandybudr, from the Welsh pandy ('fulling mill') and budr ('dirty'). The meaning 'dirty fulling-mill' was considered unattractive and the adjective budr was replaced in Victorian times by the personal name Tudur, thus giving Pandytudur (supposedly 'Tudur's fulling mill').

Language
At the time of the 2001 UK Census, 55.5% of the population spoke the Welsh language. The highest percentage of speakers was within the 5-9 age group, where 71.1% could speak the language. Children in the village mostly attend a small Welsh-medium primary school in the nearby village of Llangernyw.

Facilities
The village has a chapel of the Presbyterian Church of Wales.

Nearby lie the turbines of Moel Maelogan wind farm.
