Ythanwells Church, now semi-derelict and in use as an agricultural barn, was built in 1864.[3] The village also formerly had a school,[4] which serves today as a community centre. Ythanwells now comes under the catchment area for Drumblade Primary School.[5]
The Roman Camp site known as Ythan Wells or Glenmailen is situated near the farm of Glenmellan, 2.1 kilometres (1.3 mi) east of the village.[6]
