Its height is 769 m (2,523 ft) and it tops a large boggy plateau rising to the east of [Pen y Fan](/source/Pen_y_Fan).Nuttall, John & Anne (1999). The Mountains of England & Wales - Volume 1: Wales (2nd edition ed.). Milnthorpe, Cumbria: Cicerone. {{ISBN|1-85284-304-7}}. The hill takes the form of a plateau with sharp rims on several sides. To the northeast 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 landslip 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-northeast to the subsidiary top of Bryn (561m above sea level). The short ridges of Cefn Bach and Cefn Edmwnt run northeast whilst that of Twyn Du extends eastwards towards [Talybont Reservoir](/source/Talybont_Reservoir). A further ridge runs southeast to the subsidiary top of [Allt Lwyd](/source/Allt_Lwyd) (654m). To the south a broad ridge runs to a col beyond which is the top of Allt Forgan (513m). == References == {{reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/mountaindetails.php?qu=N&rf=127 Waun Rydd] at hill-bagging.co.uk * [https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=3454140 www.geograph.co.uk : photos of Waun Rydd and surrounding area] Category:Brecon Beacons Category:Mountains and hills of Powys Category:Marilyns of Wales Category:Hewitts of Wales Category:Nuttalls --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Waun Rydd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waun_Rydd) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waun_Rydd?action=history)).
