Penarth Fawr is a hall house in the community of Llanystumdwy, Gwynedd, Wales. The oldest part of the house dates from the mid-fifteenth century and consists of four bays of the original house, with the service rooms in the southern bay and the hall occupying the other three; a parlour wing to the north of the hall has been demolished. There is a seventeenth-century wing attached to the rear of the building. The original house has been altered several times, but was restored to approximately its medieval appearance in 1937 and is notable for its intact medieval roof and screen. The hall is described as "one of the most important medieval gentry houses to survive in Wales" by Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Government, and as "an important medieval hall house" in the Buildings of Wales series. It is a grade I listed building and a scheduled monument, and the seventeenth-century wing and stables are each listed at grade II.

Chwilog (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈχwiːlɔɡ]) is a village in Gwynedd, north Wales, and located on the Llŷn Peninsula. It is in the community of Llanystumdwy, near Criccieth, and in the medieval commote (Welsh: cwmwd) of Eifionydd, named after a 5th-century ruler. It is within the Dwyfor Meirionnydd constituency in the UK Parliament and in the Senedd (Welsh Parliament). The name means 'abounding in beetles' and was perhaps transferred from an earlier name of the river (or a part of it). It had a population of 640 in 311 households as of the 2011 UK census, with 78% born in Wales. In the 2021 census of the UK, the Llanustumdwy community with a 60km sq radius, which includes Chwilog had a population of 1917 inhabitants.

Chwilog railway station served the village of Chwilog, Gwynedd, Wales. It was opened in 1867 by the Carnarvonshire Railway, who were subsequently taken over by the LNWR, passing to the LMSR at the Grouping of 1923. The station came under the London Midland Region of British Railways from nationalisation in 1948. A year after the station opened £100 was spent improving its passenger accommodation. Apart from goods and passenger services normal for a country station, a strong milk traffic was developed, culminating in a train of five vans of churns being sent to Liverpool daily from 1943 to 1949. The siding at Chwilog could only accommodate five vans, so the opportunity to expand the business was lost to road traffic in winter 1949–50. The line and station closed in December 1964. In 2015 the station area was covered by a bus station, but the platform was still in place behind a new housing estate and the station master's house was in use as a private residence.

Lôn Goed (Welsh for 'Tree Lane'), also known as Y Lôn Goed, is a rural lane in Eifionydd, Gwynedd, Wales. The lane is lined with trees, mainly oak and beech. It was celebrated by the poet R. Williams Parry (1884–1956) in his Welsh-language poem Eifionydd. Lôn Goed starts in the hamlet of Afon Wen, on the A497 main road about half a mile to the south of Chwilog and halfway between Criccieth and Pwllheli. Afon Wen lies on a river of the same name, near where it reaches the sea. The lane runs for about five miles (8 km), at first north-east then in a northerly direction, from Afon Wen to Hendre Cennin on the slopes of Mynydd Cennin. The lane is used as a footpath, other than a short section that follows a minor road.

Llanarmon (English: Garmon's Church) is a small village and former civil parish in the old commote of Eifionydd and Cantref Dunoding in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. The parish was abolished in 1934 and incorporated into Llanystumdwy. The village lies 4 miles (6.4 km) north east of Pwllheli and is close to the village of Llangybi, a holy well and the mountain of Carn Pentrych. A well-preserved 15th-century manor house at Penarth-fawr is maintained by Cadw, and another ancient monument Plas Du (Welsh: Black Place) is a well-preserved, substantial sub-medieval gentry house. It also has important historical associations; it was known as the centre of the Roman Catholic faith in the region and was the home of Thomas Owen, High Sheriff of Caernarfonshire from 1569, who was imprisoned for sheltering missionary priests in the house in 1571. "The village is pleasantly situated in a fertile plain, and the neighbour-hood partakes of the pleasing scenery which prevails in this part of the country. The living is a rectory not in charge, annexed to that of Llangybi, in the archdeaconry of Merioneth, and diocese of Bangor, and in the patronage of the Bishop of Bangor. The church, dedicated to Saint Garmon, is an ancient and spacious structure in good repair : some additional windows have lately been inserted, previously to which alteration the interior was very dark." Samuel Lewis, Topographical Dictionary of Wales (1833)

Llangybi was a railway station located some distance from Llangybi, Gwynedd, Wales. The station was isolated and lightly used, but it had two platforms and remained open until the line closed because it was a crossing place where the otherwise single track route became twin track for a short distance.The line and station were closed in December 1964.

Llangybi (English: Cybi's Church) is a village and former civil parish in the Eifionydd area of the Welsh county of Gwynedd, near Llanarmon. The parish was abolished in 1934 and divided between Llanystumdwy and Llannor. St Cybi's church is a grade II* building.As well as various menhirs, tumuli and stone circles in the countryside around, the village is particularly noted for a holy well, Ffynnon Gybi (English: St Cybi's Well). According to local tradition the girls who wished to know their lover's intentions would spread their pocket-handkerchiefs on the water of the well, and, if the water pushed the handkerchiefs to the south they knew that everything was right and that their lovers were honest and honourable in their intentions; but, if the water shifted the handkerchiefs northwards, they concluded the contrary. A reference to this is made in severe terms by a modern Welsh poet. "This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church to Saint Cybi, an eminent British saint, who flourished towards the close of the sixth century, is pleasantly situated in the south-western portion of the county, and nearly in the centre of the promontory which separates Cardigan bay from the bay of Carnarvon. It is of very considerable extent, and the lands are mostly enclosed and in a good state of cultivation : the surrounding scenery is pleasingly diversified, comprising some fine views of the adjacent country, which abounds with varied and picturesque beauty. At Pontrhyd Goch is a slate quarry, which, however, is worked only on a limited scale, the slates being of rather an inferior quality, and the demand for them confined principally to the immediate neighbour-hood. The road from Carnarvon to Pwllheli passes through the parish.

St Cawrdaf's Church is located on the western edge of the village of Abererch, Gwynedd, Wales. The church is dedicated to Cawrdaf, a Welsh saint. It is a Grade I listed building.
