Llyn y Fan Fach is a beautiful lake situated below the Black Mountain escarpment. You can reach the lake within short walking distance from the Llyn y Fan Fach car park but please note it's small and gets quite busy. Folklore tells the story of 'the Lady of the Lake'. It's a great place to explore the ridge of the Carmarthen Fans surrounding the lake.

Llyn y Fan Fach is a Welsh gem and, more than likely, is a strong contender for one of Wales most scenic picnic spots. Hugging the western flanks of the Brecon Beacons, this glacial cirque, surrounded by the Black Mountain escarpment, is simply a beautiful heavenly spot. From the car park, it’s a bit of an uphill slog, but it's worth every huff and puff to get here. The views over the lake on a sunny day or sunset are magical, and looking west into the sinking sun while supping a Jack Daniels is hard to beat.

Llyn y fan Fach is a short walk from the car park at the bottom of the track. A walk around the lake is also highly recommended. If you’re coming by car, the lakes to the park are pretty tight, so drive slowly!
