Mynydd Llangorse is a western outlier of the Black Mountains. The trig point stands at 1,660 feet (506 m) and offers great views south. The highest point on the ridge is further north, where you climb slightly to the true summit at 1,690 feet (515 m).

View of Llangorse Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Llangorse Lake (Llyn Syfaddon) is the largest natural lake in Mid-Wales.
It is also one of the lakes around which mythical stories about the Afanc (a monster) are told.
The island contains the only crannog in Wales. Research showed that the crannog, an artificial island made with oak beams, layers of stones and earth, was probably constructed in the 8th century.
