Mynydd Troed Walk
This circular walk climbs to Mynydd Troed and Cockit Hill in the Black Mountains section of the Brecon Beacons National Park. You'll also pass through the attractive valley of the River Rhiangoll on the return leg.
The walk starts at Pengenffordd which lies less than a mile to the north east of the mountain. From here you can pick up trails heading west and then south west to the 609 m (1,998 ft) summit.
You continue south to Cockit Hill, Mynydd Llangorse and Pentre where you cross a bridge over the river Rhiangoll. The route then follows a bridle track north along the river to return to Pengenffordd.
The walk can be extended by heading west to visit the lovely waterside paths at Llangorse Lake.
