This magical spot, Llygad Llwchwr which translates as "eye of the Loughor" is where the River Loughor emerges from its source - an underground lake at the Black Mountain. Below the surface from Llygad Llwchwr is a 1.2 km-long cave system in the Black Mountain.
The cave contains a dry high level series and an active river level. Beyond the fourth river chamber exploration is only possible by cave diving.
