One thing to be aware of when hiking Mynydd y Dref is the presence of sheep and wild ponies. These adorable creatures roam freely on the mountain, adding to the charm of the walk. However, it's important to keep dogs on leads and be respectful of the animals. They're part of what makes this area so special.
