Bodelwyddan (Welsh pronunciation: [bɔdɛlˈwəðan]) is a village, electoral ward and community in Denbighshire, Wales, approximately 5 miles (8 km) South of Rhyl. The Parish includes several smaller hamlets such as Marli and Pengwern.

Bodelwyddan is home to over sixty listed buildings[1] including notable locations such as the Marble Church and Bodelwyddan Castle.

The population of only 2,106,[2] increasing to 2,147 at the 2011 census,[3] is served by a single public house, a small number of shops, two takeaways (a Chinese takeaway called The Lucky Garden and the fish and chips shop ‘Church View Chippy’), a primary school and a driving range; as well as having its own Community Centre.

It is now bypassed by the A55 road, but continues to be a hub of activity due to the presence of Glan Clwyd Hospital. It has a Town Council with a Mayor.[4]
