Craig-y-Nos Castle is free for entry to the public, and has a free car-park amongst its outbuildings, located between the castle and the nearby paddock.
In the past, Craig-y-Nos Castle has been home to Victorian opera star, Adalina Pattie, a close friend of King Edward VII, and was later a children's hospital, and then a geriatric hospital, before being bought and restored to some of its former glory in recent decades.

Penwyllt is in the hills behind Craig-y-Nos and includes a free parking area. The quarry is still privately-owned, and is not for public access, though the old buildings and workings can largely be viewed from the road, as can the old railway bridge, indicating where the line to Brecon ran. The old railway station and platform are open for the public to wander around and provide a very interesting and picturesque setting.
