What is recorded here
A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.
Roughly 300–400 metres in height, the area around Mountain Ponies is characterised by upland moorland typical of the Welsh borderlands, with geology primarily consisting of Silurian slate. The name may allude to the wild ponies once found in remote Welsh hills, though specific folklore is not well documented. The location is of interest due to its proximity to Glyndwr's Way, a long-distance walking trail commemorating Owain Glyndŵr’s 15th-century rebellion against English rule.
