The Black Mountain

The Black Mountain (not to be confused with the Black Mountains) is a large and dramatic geographic feature that I hope Mr Bishop can enlighten me to the correct name of.

The ridge contains two mountains, Picws Du (749m) and Fan Brycheiniog (802m).



Point to Point
A long-distance point to point route can start by Llyan t Fan Fach, which continues along towards the Brecon Beacons and finish on the far side in the Black Mountains. A walk of this length, given a fair pace, takes around 4 to 5 days. Wild camping is the only way to complete the route and most of the areas visited are remote. There's only one pub along the entire route, The Storey Arms Centre at the bottom of the tourist track up Corn Du.
