The village developed on a crossroads near the eastern coast of the Isle of Anglesey. Agriculture has been the mainstay of the hamlet from the time of the feudal lords and continues to the present day privately owned farms. Fields of rich, fertile farmland surround housing districts and local businesses.
During the reign of King Edward, Anglesey had 60 windmills, many were later replaced. Brynteg constructed a windmill in the late 1700s, one of the earliest of its time, but the building fell into disrepair in the early 1900s.
The crossroads of the community travel to the nearby village of Llangefni and the coastal village of Benllech. Gentle climbing hills and thick green forests decorate the landscape around Brynteg. Paved roads travel past a combination of modern brick and traditional stone buildings. The majority of residents speak fluent Welsh, but most residents also speak English.
Buses and private taxi companies service Brynteg, but there is no railway service.
