Aber-erch([abɛrˈɛrχ],Welshfor "Mouth of theErch") is a small village and formercivil parishon theLlŷn Peninsulain theWelshcounty of Gwynedd. The village lies approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) east ofPwllheli.A river, the Afon Erch runs through the village.

The parish was abolished in 1934 and incorporated into that ofLlannor,now thecommunityof Llannor.^[2]It is a mostly Welsh-speaking village^[3]and its name is often truncated to "Berch"[bɛrχ]in the local Welsh dialect.^[4]

There is a primary school, playschool, and arailway station.The church of St Cawrdaf is a grade I listed building.^[5]

Aber-erch has a beach called 'Traeth Glan y Don' (which roughly translates to 'Shore of the wave beach') which extends from Morfa'r Garreg, Pwllheli to Pen-ychain. Parking for the beach is near the railway station. From the beach you have a view of Harlech Castle in the east all the way down to Tywyn (on a clearer day even further south) and to the west Pwllheli and theSt Tudwal's Islands.Access to the beach is through a footpath next the caravan and camp-site. This beach is ideal for days when the wind is from the north or north west due to the sheltered bay.

The ward includes the village ofY Fforand the small settlement ofPenrhos.
