Mynydd Llangatwg, Limestone summit in Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales.

Mynydd Llangatwg rises to 529 meters, featuring an undulating plateau with limestone cliffs along the northern escarpment and numerous geological formations.

The hill contains multiple Neolithic cairns at Twr Pen-cyrn, while its northern slopes display evidence of 19th-century limestone quarrying and tramway construction.

The folklore surrounding Pwll Gwy-rhoc, known locally as the Witch's Pool, connects to a recorded battle from the year 728.

Access to Mynydd Llangatwg is available via the B4560 road, with several walking paths crossing the hill from north to south near Twr Pen-cyrn.

The cave systems beneath Mynydd Llangatwg, including Ogof y Daren Cilau and Ogof Agen Allwedd, rank among Britain's most extensive underground networks.
