A car park run by the National Trust is a popular starting point for walks up to Cwm Bychan or along the Afon Glaslyn.

The village is the home of Dafydd Nanmor, a renowned 15th century bard (died c. 1490) who took his name from the hamlet, as did Rhys Nanmor after him. Dafydd Nanmor himself was possibly a bardic student of Rhys Goch, who lived at neighbouring Hafod Garegog.

Filmed in Nantmor in 1957, the Inn of the Sixth Happiness is a 1958 British 20th Century Fox film based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a tenacious British maid, who became a missionary in China during the tumultuous years leading up to the Second World War.

Carneddi, a nearby hill farm, was the home of Ruth Janette Ruck, who published a trilogy of books about her experiences in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, namely Place of Stones, Hill Farm Story and Along Came a Llama. In 1980 she featured in the HTV About Britain series in an episode called "The Lady and the Llama", which featured a year on the farm.{{Cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/258637?view=synopsis|title=BFI | Film & TV Database | The LADY AND THE LLAMA (1980)|date=19 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120419163808/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/258637?view=synopsis |archive-date=19 April 2012 }}{{failed verification|date=April 2023|reason=The 'synopsis' archive page does not mention Carneddi or Nantmor}}
