Lych gate to St Buan's Church The church of St Buan was founded in 595 AD. No traces of it remain. The present building was first erected by the Wynne family of Plas Boduan in 1765 and after falling into disrepair rebuilt between 1890 and 1894. After falling into disrepair again in the 20th century it was deconsecrated in 1991 and reopened in 2004 as the Buan centre. It is now closed.

AA box by the A497 AA box number 580 stands by the A497 Pwllheli to Nefyn road. These were a familiar sight by UK roads when I was a child. AA members had a special key to open the telephone boxes if help was required, whilst a yellow metal badge could be attached to the front bumper of the car. AA patrol men were usually on a motorcycle with side box that contained tools, and would salute as they passed any car bearing an AA badge. I believe the salute was eventually dropped as traffic levels increased. The AA themselves seem unsure as to how many of these boxes were originally installed. Their own website suggests 862, of which there are supposed to be 19 remaining.
