Bridges
editGelli Bridge, immediately to the east of Gelli, spans the Syfynwy a few yards before it joins the Eastern Cleddau and is Grade II listed; it is listed twice (with different IDs and dates) because it falls within two parishes.[4][5][6][7] This listed bridge is not to be confused with several other bridges in the vicinity which carry road and rail across the Eastern Cleddau and another tributary.[8]
Chapel
editSiloam Welsh Baptist Church[9] is in the centre of the hamlet. It was built in 1858 and rebuilt in 1904.[10]
