Waun Fach is the highest mountain at 2,661 feet in the Black Mountains in Brecknockshire. It is one of the three Marilyns that make up the range, the others being Black Mountain and Mynydd Troed. To the north, Great Rhos and the Radnor Forest can be seen. After Pen y Fan, it is the second highest mountain in mainland Britain south of Snowdonia.
Access
It is situated at the head of the Grwyne Fechan valley, above and to the west of the Grwyne Fawr reservoir [1]. It has an undistinguished (and almost indistinguishable [2]) rounded summit [3]. The nearby tops on the ridge, Pen Trumau and Pen y Gadair Fawr [4], although lower, are very much more recognisable.[1]
