"Ffordd Castell" is within the original settlement, "Yr Hen Dref", though most of the houses are Victorian. "Ty Mawr", however, originally a smallholding and later a public house, dates from the 16th century, whilst on the opposite side of the street a long stone building, divided into three cottages, "Porth yr Aur", "Trefan" and "Cemlyn", dates from 1700. "The Castle Bakery" next door features a stained glass insertion above the shop window which depicts bakers at work. In the past nearby residents could bring their own dough to be baked in the ovens. By the castle entrance "Gardd y Stocs", a small green, was home to the town's stocks, whilst the building that houses the castle information centre was part of the town's guildhall.
