TWF2024-06 Saturday Walk - Llangors Lake and Mountain Scenic
A 3 Boot Walk.
A walk from Llyn Syfaddan (Llangors Lake) through the village and across to the Multi Activity Centre where a close encounter with peacocks may be possible. We climb steeply from there up to the summit of Mynydd Llangors for spectacular views over the lake towards Pen-y-Fan.
The walk stays high while looking for mountain ponies & orchids and listening for cuckoos & skylarks. From the peak of Pen-yr-Heol-Las there are lovely views down the Usk Valley and over to Pen-Allt-Mawr.
Then we descend via a gentle bridle path for a quick tour of the village, before returning to the lakeshore and its rich variety of birds.
Binoculars strongly recommended, as is the Red Lion pub after the walk.
