Bodorgan Hall is a country house and estate located in the hamlet of Bodorgan, Anglesey, Wales, situated near the Irish Sea in the southwestern part of the island. The hall is the seat of the Meyricks,[1] and is the largest estate on Anglesey.[2] The hall is the home of Sir George Meyrick and his wife, Lady Candida Tapps Gervis Meyrick.

The house is a Grade II* listed building, and various other structures on the estate, such as a dovecote and a barn are listed at Grade II. The parkland is listed, jointly with the Bodowen Estate, as Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. It is also an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an Environmentally Sensitive Area on the Malltraeth estuary.[3] The estate contains woodland, terraced and walled kitchen gardens, a large circular dovecote, a lawn and a deer park. The house was completed between 1779 and 1782, and significant additions were made in the mid-nineteenth century.[3]
