Penllyn is home to Penllyn Castle, a 12th-century fortification which, although ruinous, is now adjoined by a castellated mansion originally built in the late 16th century.
The smaller hamlet of Graig Penllyn, about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) north of the main village, is notable for its pub the Barley Mow.[3][4]
