The 2011 census showed 47.8% of the population could speak Welsh, a fall from 52.9% in 2001.The local church, St Saeran's, was built in the 13th Century on the site of a 6th-Century monastery; Saeran was a bishop-saint. It is situated on a small rise between the winding Clwyd and Clywedog rivers, hence the name ynys (island).
