Sarah from Llangorse Sailing Club wants to share a few updates and extend a warm invite to all sports enthusiasts. Here’s the latest from her:
- **This Month:** The lake is currently closed due to high flood water.
- **Next Month:** The team is busy putting together the plans for the upcoming season.
If you’re not yet a member but are thinking of joining, why not pop by during one of our events? You'll see that the club might be closer than you think! We’ve got a sketch showing estimated driving times of 30, 90, and 45 minutes to Llangorse Lake. Just use the club's postcode (LD3 7TR) to plan your trip.
When you arrive, the final stretch to the club takes you across the common from Llangorse village.
For those planning a longer stay, Llangorse Lake sits within the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park, which has plenty of spots to stay:
1. **Lakeside Caravan Park:** Right next to Llangorse Lake, it’s a scenic and handy place to pitch up.
2. **Llynfi Holiday Park:** A family-friendly caravan and campsite, just a stone's throw from the lake.
3. **Alpaca Holiday Cottage:** A cosy two-bedroom cottage, perfect for four folks, with one twin and one double bed.

Sarah loves being part of such a welcoming dinghy sailing club at Llangorse. There’s loads on offer, from club racing and lessons for beginners to advanced coaching, casual sailing, and social gatherings. The spot on Llangorse Lake in the Brecon Beacons National Park is perfect – safe and beautiful.
The clubhouse, which got a makeover in 2015, has everything you need – a big indoor meeting and hospitality area, an open galley, and a dedicated training room. The changing rooms next to the clubhouse ensure you’re comfy throughout your visit.
Being a non-profit community sports club, they’re keen on keeping costs low and attracting members from across South Wales and nearby parts of England. The club is run by a passionate team of volunteers who ensure everything runs smoothly and that members get the most out of their time there.
The club boasts a diverse fleet of boats, including safety boats, a large event management boat, Comet Trios, and small sailing boats for training young sailors. Members are welcome to use their own boats for racing and leisure, and there are training boats available for those just starting out.
Safety is key at Llangorse Sailing Club. During organised sailing and racing events for kids, there’s safety boat cover to ensure everyone can enjoy their time on the water safely.
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a newbie looking to dive in, Sarah invites you to join the friendly and lively community at Llangorse Sailing Club.
