Chwilog is a village in Eifionydd on the Llyn Peninsula in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. It forms part of the community of Llanystumdwy.
The village is fairly linear, built up around the B4354 which crosses the peninsula to Boduan. The Afon Wen flows through the lower part of the village on it's way to the sea at Afonwen, less than a mile away.
Nearby is Lon Goed, a tree lined track which used to be used to transport goods from the sea up to the farms of Eifionydd. The track is no longer used for this purpose but is now popular with walkers.
Amenities
Chwilog Primary School was opened in 1908 by Mrs Margaret Lloyd George, wife of David Lloyd George. The village was built around the railway station on the Caernarfonshire Railway Line situated at the centre of the village. Businesses in the village include a butcher's shop and a tractor company. There is also a Post Office and a pub, the Madryn Arms.
