The town’s old church now houses a crafts shop, while the Llangothlin Post office that opened in 1886 is now a private residence. Around 11 kilometres northeast of the town is the Little Llangothlin Nature Reserve, the only protected area on basaltic soils in the New England Tablelands. The reserve houses the Little Llangothlin Lagoon and a portion of the smaller Billy Bung Lagoon, the two lakes serving as an important breeding and feeding ground for migratory waterfowl.
