Bryncroes is a hamlet in Gwynedd, Wales and lies on the Llŷn Peninsula approximately 2 km west of Sarn Mellteyrn. It was the scene of fierce protests between 1969 and 1972 when it was proposed to close the village school [1]. 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 Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island).
