Mynydd Troed Walk in the Black Mountains of Wales

Mynydd Troed Walk review: https://roamingspices.com/mynydd-troed-walk/ Mynydd Troed Walk Description To the Summit From the Dragon’s Back car park, take the path at the northern end and immediately turn left. Follow the dirt track alongside the A479 for approximately 300 metres. Upon reaching a small country road, cross the A479 and pass through a metal gate between farm buildings. Turn right at the end of the farm buildings, then head left through the metal gate signposted ‘Footpath‘. The tree-lined trail ascends gradually passing through two further gates before breaking out onto the northern base of Mynydd Troed. Continue for approximately 250 metres before turning left, commencing the steep ascent up the mountain’s northern slope. To give you an idea of the gradient, this section is around 1 km in length and the change in height is just over 250 metres, making this a 1:4 or 25% slope. Upon reaching the top, the trig point indicating the 609-metre summit will soon come into sight, sitting within metres of the northern slope. Now it’s time to take a break, get some air back in those lungs and appreciate the wonderful views that now surround you! Out to the southwest Llangorse Lake shows itself for the first time, with the distant Pen y Fan sitting proudly on the horizon. Whilst, immediately across the valley to the south lies the broad-backed Mynydd Llangorse.
