Henryd is a small village on the western slopes of the Conwy valley in north Wales. It lies a couple of miles to the south of Conwy, off the B5106.

The Dunvant flows through the village which is a tributary of the River Conwy.

The village has a chapel and a small primary school (Ysgol Llangelynnin).

The English translation of Henryd is old ford. Hen being old and ryd or rhyd being ford.

There are two housing estates in the village 'Maes refail' which is the council built estate and the 1970's built estate 'Erw fawr'.

The oldest building in the village is Ffarm Henryd (Henryd Ffarm). The field behind Maes refail estate is known as Cae Ffarm (Ffarm field).

The village well still exists in the field on the other side of the river.

The village is a popular starting point for walks in the northern Snowdonia, especially the Carneddau mountains.

Also nearby is Parc Mawr, an area of woodland now owned by the Woodland Trust, who are replacing the 1960s-planted conifers with native species.

Nearby is the Roman road route through Bwlch-y-Ddeufaen, and the ancient 12th century church of Llangelynnin.
