The parish church is dedicated to the local saint, St Llawddog. Although the present building is relatively modern, it is on an important ancient site, and was the 'bishop house' of the cantref of Emlyn. The church has a 12th century font carved with five relief faces.

The village has long been a centre of coracle fishing although licences are no longer available, the coracle centre is now the predominant feature of the tourist map. The bridge divides the village in two, the northern half in Ceredigion and the south in Carmarthenshire. The bridge was made by the same firm that made the bridge in Pontypridd, significant for the large cylindrical spandrel hole.
