Bodffordd is located just under 2 miles (3.2 km) from the county town of Llangefni, on the south western edge of the reservoir, Llyn Cefni.

It is the nearest settlement to RAF Mona and as a community council, it includes the village of Trefor.

Many of these older dwellings have fallen into disrepair but the village church, dedicated to St. Llwydian, is still in good condition.

The village is the site of the Mona Industrial Estate, which in 2009 was given planning permission to build a 25,000-tonne animal waste anaerobic digestion plant.
