An outlier of the Black Mountains, Mynydd Llangorse is an easily accessible hill that provides glorious views on a clear day. Its bridleways and byways are popular with horseriders and mountain bikers, as well as hikers. The village of Llangors is a good base for the hill and you can explore Llangors Lake too, which is South Wales' largest natural lake.
