Bryncroes is a hamlet and former civil parish in Gwynedd in Wales, and lies on the Llŷn Peninsula approximately 2 km west of Sarn Meyllteyrn.

Overview
Overview
However, the protests were in vain and the school closed, and is now a village community centre. Near the school is a well, which was used as a stopping-off point of the pilgrims on their way to Bardsey Island (Welsh: Ynys Enlli). William Rowlands (1802–1865), bardic name Gwylym Lleyn, was a Welsh bibliographer and Methodist minister. He was born in Bryn Croes.
