Abermorddu () is a village in the county of Flintshire, Wales, in the community of Hope. Approximately 5 miles north of Wrexham along the A541 road, it is contiguous with the main village of Caergwrle and closely related to the village of Hope.[1] In the 19th century there was a turnpike road known as Abermorddu Branch running from the tollhouse at King's Ferry to Abermorddu.[2]
Its name probably comes from the confluence (aber) of a small brook called Morddu with the River Alyn.[3]
