About Mynydd Llangorse
Mynydd Llangorse is a 515-metre mountain on the western edge of the Black Mountains, within the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, south Wales. It lies two miles east of Llangors and its lake, and five miles south of Talgarth, and is listed as a Marilyn.
The summit overtops, by nine metres, the point 600 metres to its south where a trig point is sited. The broad spur of Cefn Moel extends south towards the village of Bwlch, while a spur to the south-east forms Pen Tir, which reaches just over 450 metres above sea level.
