Summary from Cymraeg / Welsh Wikipedia (cywiki)

Tref a chymuned yn Sir y Fflint, Cymru, yw'r Wyddgrug. Mae hi'n gorwedd ar groesffordd hanner ffordd rhwng Rhuthun i'r gorllewin a Chaer i'r dwyrain. Mae'r A494 yn pasio'r dref i'r dwyrain. Tu ôl i'r Wyddgrug mae'r tir yn codi i lethrau coediog Bryniau Clwyd. Cynhelir marchnad lwyddiannus ynghanol y dref bob dydd Mercher, ac mae'r Stryd Fawr yn ffynnu. Mae llwyfan awyr-agored ynghanol y dref, a chynhelir digwyddiadau cerddorol o dro i dro. Cynhelir twmpathau yn neuadd yr eglwys pedair gwaith bob blwyddyn. Ystyr enw y dref yw "bryncyn neu dwmpath uchel" (yr un ystyr ag enw Saesneg y dref, Mold: o'r Ffrangeg Normanaidd Monthault sy'n golygu "bryn uchel"). Yn ôl yr Athro Hywel Wyn Owen, mae'n debycach mai'r un 'gŵydd' yw hwn ac 'yn eich gŵydd' hy 'golwg' ac mai ystyr Yr Wyddgrug felly yw 'Bryn Amlwg'.
