Ponterwyd is a village in Ceredigion, Wales. It lies in the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales, approximately 12 miles east of Aberystwyth on the A44 road.

[edit] Historical background

Ponterwyd's rich history is evident throughout the village. At the village's heart lies 'Hen Bont' (English: Old Bridge), an 18th century bridge, which is adjacent to a late Georgian chapel. Buildings in Ponterwyd range in date from the Georgian period to the 1980s, when a development of bungalows named 'Penlon' was added to the village.

The village is the home of "Nant-yr-Arian", a Forestry Commission centre where over 30 red kites are fed every day.[1]
