It is noted, perhaps, for having two bridges: one carries the old Bethesda, Wales to Bangor railway trackbed on an attractive Victorian architecture viaduct; the other is a concrete flyover built in the 1980s carrying the A55.
It is credited as the start of the A4244 road, but in reality the road lies approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the village. "Infryn" means turf, therefore the name of the village means literally "blue/green turf".
