Llangors (also known as Llangorse) is a small village, community and electoral ward in southern Powys, in the historic county of Brecknockshire, within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Nant Cwy, a small stream, runs through the village before emptying into the lake.
Llangors is a popular tourist destination and offers visitors a variety of activities: boating, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, coarse fishing, bird watching, pony trekking, hill walking and indoor climbing.
A dug-out canoe dating from around AD 800 was found in 1925 and is now on display in Brecon Museum.
Today the village has a primary school which serves a number of surrounding villages, a community centre, and two pubs; and closer to the lake a shop, restaurant, caravan and camping sites and the Crannog Visitor Centre.
