Adventurer Dave Hamilton has travelled widely across the UK to find some of its weirdest sites. This week, he joins Plodcast host Fergus Collins in the ex-industrial heartlands of South Wales to walk on one of the largest and strangest earth sculptures in Europe: Sultan the Pit Pony.
It is a moving memorial to the thousands of ponies that worked in pitch black deep in the mines during the great 19th-century coal rush.
