The village is situated to the north east of the town of Tywyn, at the junction of the A493 and B4405 roads.

Although the village is usually spelt Bryncrug in English, the community name uses the Welsh language version, Bryn-crug.

To the south stood Cynfal motte-and-bailey castle, built in 1137 by Cadwaladr ap Gruffydd, brother of Owain Gwynedd.
