Sultan the Pit Pony - Added to Parks and Recreation in Caerphilly, Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Sultan the Pit Pony @ Parc Penallta.

The pony is located here: what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location
Parking is available here: what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location and here: what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location depending on how easy a walk you want.

I opted for the second and took a good 10k ramble around the park itself. Description of the pony, and indeed the Parc itself can be found here: parc-penallta | Your Green Spaces

I didn't see any requirements to get permissions, and in fact, the sign board in my car park actively welcomed "any activity you want" including cycling, kite flying and so on.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 08/04/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.

I want to try this in a low sun, with the shape of the pony brought out by light and shadow.

I had no idea the Pony was even there, even after visiting the park previously. It’s definitely worth a visit and plenty of visibility too for flying. Only popped up this evening whilst it was cloudy so I didn’t get any good shots.
