Plas yn Rhiw is a 16th-century manor house tucked up in the hill above Porth Neigwl. Now under the care of the National Trust, the house has beautiful, ornamental gardens which are well worth exploring. There's an interesting history behind the building, which you can learn about while walking around it. If you're hungry, there's also a tea room.

Plas y Rhiw is a beautiful Tudor/Georgian manor house owned and cared for by the National Trust. It dates back to the 17th century and stands in a scenic spot on the tip of the Llŷn Peninsula with great vistas out across Cardigan Bay. The manor home is in well-preserved condition and has a charming ornamental garden. Nearby are some quality coastal walks, including a variety of routes to the top of Mynydd y Rhiw, which, at 304 metres, gives you commanding views. It is simply a gem of a place!
