Soar-y-Mynydd Chapel

If you can find it it's worth it ! this is a really remote little chapel way up in the mountains - peaceful !

Remote chapel at the start of several hilly walks. Parking space for a couple of cars and has a basic flush toilet in an outbuilding

Enjoyed. Lovely peaceful atmosphere inside a beautiful resting place. A little eerie the only building for miles. Apart from the red phone box 2 mile away.

One of the oldest Chapel who celebrated 200yrs close to Llyn Brianne it has lovely views

Soar y Mynydd is a chapel near Llyn Brianne Reservoir in the Elenydd region of mid Wales, South East of Tregaron.
This is very good walking country and the photographs below are of a circular walk from Soar y Mynydd down the Doethie valley and back over moorland via Ty'n y Cornel, one of the Elenydd Wilderness Youth Hostels.

Beautiful, tranquil and peaceful. Well worth the journey.

Hidden gem in the middle of nowhere.

No signal. No people. Just peace and quiet.

Well worth trying to find.

We stumbled across Soar-y-mynydd by chance after our sat nav took us the wrong way. It is about 14 miles north of the village beyond the winding mountain road around Llyn Brianne, that leads to Tregaron. A Calvinist Methodist chapel; often-repeated claim to fame being the remotest chapel in all Wales, built in 1822. A grade II listed building made of local rubble stone collected from riverbeds and ruined farmsteads in the area. Internally it has a prominent feature – a painted scroll above the pulpit with the text “Duw cariad yw”. In its graveyard, the most conspicuous recent burial (2001), is that of Professor John Griffiths, a prominent London cancer surgeon. The local school met in the chapel-house until the 1940s. An interesting piece of history in a very remote location. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area!
