Mynydd Llysiau is a distinctive mountain peak located in the Black Mountains area of south-eastern Wales. Its name comes from the Welsh words meaning "mountain of the fruit."
This peak is considered a 'subsidiary summit' of Waun Fach. This means it's a smaller peak that is part of a larger mountain system. Mynydd Llysiau sits right between the bigger Waun Fach mountain and another peak called Pen Allt-mawr. It's easy to spot because its eastern side is quite steep!
