It lies to the east of the [[Afon Llwyd]] ('Llanyrafon' means 'riverchurch plains[or 'holy ground'] by the river'), west of the [[A4042 road|A4042 dual carriageway]] and south of [[Croesyceiliog]].

Llanyrafon is mainly residential but does include a municipal golf course; 3-star hotel ([[Commodore Hotel]] on Mill Lane); small shopping precinct known as ''Llanyrafon Lakeside Shops'' and the large Boating Lake Park & South Fields.
