Newydd Lloyd George's former residence Tŷ Newydd – now home to the National Writing Centre of Wales – and his childhood home of Highgate, which forms part of the Lloyd George Museum are both listed. Bridge and other buildings The three-arched bridge (over the Afon Dwyfor) in the centre of the village dates from the late 17th or early 18th century and is Grade II listed. Often mistaken for Bont Fechan, which stands a mile away by a garden centre of the same name, it is claimed that the initials D LL G carved clearly into the downstream bridge parapet are the work of David Lloyd George himself. Ysgol Llanystumdwy, the village school where Lloyd George received all of his education (he never attended college or university) is still offering primary education to 4–11 year olds, run as a Welsh-medium school under the auspices of the Church in Wales. A low-strung former terrace of cottages known as Lon Singrig is now one dwelling. Other buildings of note include the Tafarn y Plu (also known in English as "The Feathers"), the institute or village hall known as Neuadd y Pentref, which was financed by Lloyd George with compensation he received having won a libel case, the 19th century St John's Church, and the Moriah Methodist Chapel. Penarth-fawr Penarth-fawr is an important medieval hall house just outside the village. Broom Hall Broom Hall is an 18th century Grade II* listed house, set in parkland which is designated Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
