Ponterwyd

At the village's heart lies {{lang|cy|Yr Hen Bont|italic=no}} (English: The Old Bridge), a steep single-arch late 18th-century stone bridge over the Afon Rheidol river,{{cite web |title=Yr Hen Bont, Blaenrheidol |publisher=British Listed Buildings |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-9825-yr-hen-bont-blaenrheidol |access-date=1 March 2016}} 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 pub, "The George Borrow Hotel", is named after the writer George Borrow, who travelled through Wales on foot in the 1860s.

The scholar John Rhŷs was born at Ponterwyd in 1840.

The village is the home of {{lang|cy|Bwlch Nant yr Arian|italic=no}}, a Natural Resources Wales centre where up to 150 red kites are fed daily.{{cite web | title=Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre, near Aberystwyth: Red kite feeding | publisher=Natural Resources Wales | year=2015 | url=https://naturalresources.wales/out-and-about/places-to-go/mid-wales/bwlch-nant-yr-arian-forest-visitor-centre/?lang=en | access-date=20 October 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151012084345/http://naturalresources.wales/out-and-about/places-to-go/mid-wales/bwlch-nant-yr-arian-forest-visitor-centre/?lang=en | archive-date=12 October 2015 | url-status=dead }}
