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').[1]
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.
