About 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south, beyond the A55 road lie the villages of Caergeiliog and Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn.

The Valley Wetlands, an area of lakes and marshes and a RSPB bird sanctuary, lie between these two villages.

Bodedern is the closest village to the island's largest natural lake, Llyn Llywenan, which lies 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) to the north.

[5] Presaddfed Hall is a small grade II* listed country house which stands amongst woodlands to the north-east of the village at the southern tip of Llyn Llywenan.

[10] The other scheduled monument within the community is an early Christian cemetery, east of the village, which is thought to be the location of an ancient chapel, Eglwys Ederyn.
