Groeslon (Welsh: Y Groeslon, "the crossroads") is a small village in North Wales. Nearby villages are Pen-y-Groes, Carmel and Dinas. The village lies approximately five miles south of Caernarfon. It has one primary school in the centre of the village and no secondary schools. Most secondary school age pupils go to either Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle in Pen-y-Groes or other schools near Caernarfon. Y Groeslon was by-passed in 2002 by the A487 trunk road, which cost around �12 million to complete.

Formerly an agricultural and slate mining village, Y Groeslon is now expanding as a commuter village for the surrounding towns especially Caernarfon and Bangor.

At the bottom of the village, bordering the A487, a huge wall becomes visible. This is the wall to the Glynllifon estate, formerly the seat of Lord Newborough, which is now a country park and college (Meirion Dwyfor) specialising in land based industries, e.g. agriculture, equine studies and arboriculture.
