Waun Rydd is a mountain in the Brecon Beacons National Park, in southern Brecknockshire. Its height is 2,523ft and it tops a large boggy plateau rising to the east of Pen y Fan.[1]
The hill takes the form of a plateau with sharp rims on several sides. To the north-east is Craig Pwllfa overlooking Cwm Banw whilst Craig y Fan looks east over Cwm Tarthwynni. To the south is the edge known as Cwar y Gigfran which translates into English as 'quarry of the crow'. It marks the top of a large landslipped area extending to the stream of Blaen y Glyn below.
Several ridges extend north and east from the plateau. That known as Gist Wen runs north-north-east to the subsidiary top of Bryn (1,840 ft above sea level). The short ridges of Cefn Bach and Cefn Edmwnt run north-east whilst that of Twyn Du extends eastwards towards Talybont Reservoir. A further ridge runs south-east to the subsidiary top of Allt Lwyd (2,146 ft). To the south a broad ridge runs to a col beyond which is the top of Allt Forgan (1,683 ft).
