Waun Lefrith, Mountain summit in Carmarthenshire, United Kingdom
The summit of Waun Lefrith reaches 677 meters and forms the westernmost peak of the Carmarthen Fans in the Black Mountain region.
During past ice ages, glacial activity shaped the northern face of Waun Lefrith, creating the deep basin where Llyn y Fan Fach lake now sits.
The mountain slope provides a natural habitat for numerous bird species, including red kites, common buzzards, kestrels, and skylarks nesting in rough pastures.
The primary access route starts from the car park near Llyn y Fan Fach, following a path along the ridge that leads directly to the summit.
Large moraines appear at the base of the mountain scarp, with notable geological formations consisting of Devonian period sandstones and mudstones.
