Mynydd Llangorse

Its summit at 515m (1690 feet) overtops the location 600m to the south at which a trig point is sited by 9m.

The lower slopes of the hill are formed from mudstones of the St Maughans Formation whilst the upper slopes are formed from sandstones and mudstones of the Senni Beds Formation, both of the Old Red Sandstone which was laid down during the Devonian period.

A thin calcrete known as the Ffynnon Limestone occurs at the junction of the two formations in some places.

Various bridleways run to and over the hill whilst minor roads, 'green lanes' and restricted byways also provide access for horseriders and mountain bikers too.

The Beacons Way ascends Cefn Moel from Bwlch before dropping into the cwm en route for the hamlet of Cwmdu in the Rhiangoll valley to the east.
