Third highest summit in the Pumlumon range, Pen Pumlumon Llygad-bychan is perhaps most notable for its proximity to the source of the River Wye. To the north of the summit is the lovely pool of Llyn Llygad Rheidiol, while Pumlumon's principal summit is just a short walk along the Cambrian Way to the northeast. While the summit itself is not particularly distinguished and is known to be on the boggy side, it does offer lovely views across the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales.

Pen Pumlumon Llygad-Bychan (727m, a Hewitt & Nuttall) is the third highest summit on the Plynlimon massif.

The summit is boggy and marked by a few stones. The source of the River Wye, is just South of the summit. The picturesque glacial lake of Llyn Llygad Rheidiol lies to the North.
