There are no shops in the village, but a mobile shop arrives each Monday afternoon, but there are shops three miles away at Cerrigydrudion.

The river that runs down the valley passed St Michael's church (worthy of a visit ) and the camp site, then under the bridge by the pub is the Afon Alwen (River Alwen), where fishing is available, permits can be obtained from the Crown Inn.

The river starts its journey from the Alwen reservoir on the 'Brenig' about 5 miles away, the Forestry Commission manages a vast area of forest and open space.

The forest area is reputed to be the largest outside Scotland, the main reservoir the 'Llyn Brenig', has a visitor centre.
