Llangorse Lake and Mynydd Troed, Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, UK.


Mynydd Troed (609m) is the highest hill in Wales which is not over two thousand feet. It has a long and lovely ridge and so makes a splendid circuit with Mynydd Llangorse (515m). Llangorse Lake (Welsh: Llyn Syfaddon, variant: Llyn Syfaddan) is the largest natural lake in south Wales, and is situated within in the Brecon Beacons National Park, near to the town of Brecon and the village of Llangors. The lake is famous for its coarse fishing (particularly pike), watersports, and the only example of a crannog in Wales and England. Llangorse lake is also one of the most mentioned sites in Welsh folklore. Due to Llangorse Lake's long history of human activity it has been known by several different names during its history both in the Welsh language and in English, other names include the lake's original Welsh name, Llyn Syfaddon/Syfaddan, and Brycheiniog Mere, (the English name Llangorse Lake is comparatively recent).
