The population of the village itself is around 400. {{NOMIS2011|id=W00000849|title=llangernyw population|access-date=18 June 2022}}

The village lies on the A548 between Llanrwst and Llanfair Talhaiarn, at the point where the Afon Cledwen, a tributary of the Afon Elwy, is crossed by the main road.

Situated on the outskirts of the village is Hafodunos Hall, a gothic mansion ravaged by fire in 2004, and currently being restored by a private owner.

The name of the village may have its origin in the Cornovii tribe of the West Midlands.{{cite web|last=Strange|first=O|title=The Lost Land of the Cornovii|url=https://www.academia.edu/127089896/The_Lost_Land_of_the_Cornovii|accessdate=18 January 2025}}

The churchyard of St Digain's parish church in Llangernyw is the site of an ancient yew tree, the Llangernyw Yew, estimated to be around 4,000 years old.{{cite book |author=Joanna Billing |year=2004 |title=The Hidden Places of Wales |edition=3rd |publisher=Travel Publishing |isbn=978-1-904434-07-8 |chapter=North Wales Coast and the Isle of Anglesey |pages=45–92 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=o8NCt_7hltwC&pg=PT58}} This is thought to be the oldest living tree in Europe (see List of longest-living organisms).

Also of note is the Sir Henry Jones Museum, which is dedicated to the life of the philosopher and academic, Henry Jones, who grew up in the village. The museum is his childhood home, a small cottage, which has been preserved internally and externally.

The community includes the villages of Gwytherin and Pandy Tudur, plus the hamlet of Pentre Isaf, and extends up to, and includes part of, Mynydd Hiraethog.

An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward stretches to the south of Llangernyw Community and has a total population at the 2011 census of 1,435, and includes Pentrefoelas.{{cite web|url=http://www.ukcensusdata.com/llangernyw-w05000132#sthash.0liFEqv3.dpbs|title=Ward population 2011|access-date=21 May 2015}}
