Penllyn is home to Penllyn Castle, a 12th-century fortification which, although ruinous, is now adjoined by a castellated mansion originally built in the late 16th century.

The smaller hamlet of Graig Penllyn, about {{convert|1.3|mile|km}} north of the main village, is notable for its pub the Barley Mow.{{cite web|url=http://cowbridgeguide.co.uk/pubs/thebarleymowinn|title=The Barley Mow Inn, a pub in Cowbridge, South Wales|publisher=cowbridgeguide.co.uk|access-date=30 September 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://whatpub.com/pubs/VAL/V034/barley-mow-craig-penllyn|title=Barley Mow, Craig Penllyn|publisher=whatpub.com|access-date=30 September 2016}}
