Waun Fach is the highest mountain in the Black Mountains in south-eastern Wales.

It is situated at the head of the Grwyne Fechan valley, above and to the west of the Grwyne Fawr reservoir [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/135959] . It has an undistinguished (and almost indistinguishable [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/23972] ) rounded summit [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/23971] . The nearby tops on the ridge, Pen Trumau and Pen y Gadair Fawr [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/327184] , although lower, are very much more recognisable.
