Five of the UK's oldest breed of pony have been reintroduced to the Surrey countryside.

The young Exmoor ponies have been released at Hindhead Commons and Devil's Punch Bowl, which is popular with hikers.

The project is part of the National Trust's conservation efforts in the area.

Dartmoor ponies are such a lovely surprise when you come access them. Very kind and gentle. Hopefully this is a success!
