Varieties
- White Welsh Mountain sheep, all-white. The most common variety in the Welsh Mountains; also kept elsewhere.
- Badger Face Welsh Mountain (Defaid Idloes, ). Two varieties:
- Torddu (, "black-bellied"), white with dark face and belly.
- Torwen (, "white-bellied"), black with white belly and white stripes over the eyes.
- Balwen Welsh Mountain, black (fading to brown in sunlight and greying with age) with white blaze on face, white socks on legs below hocks and part-white tail.
- Black Welsh Mountain (Defaid Mynydd Duon, ), all-black. Many flocks of white Welsh Mountains have one or two black sheep, but they are now also bred as a consistent black variety.
- South Wales Mountain. Similar to other Welsh Mountains, but rather larger. White, with tan markings on legs and face, and a brown collar.
