The Church at Llangasty Talyllyn, Llangorse Lake, Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, UK
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). Pen y Fan is the highest mountain in South Wales, situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park. At 886 metres (2,907 ft) above sea-level, it is also the highest peak in Britain south of the Snowdonia mountain range. The summit lies on a ridge stretching from Talybont Reservoir in the east, to the A470. 500 m west lies the subsidiary top of Corn Du, beyond which the terrain descends gently towards the Storey Arms on the A470. To the east, the ridge drops steeply to the col connecting it to Cribyn, the next mountain along the ridge. From Corn Du, a gentle ridge descends south towards Merthyr Tydfil.
