Wentwood Forest - image from www.thetimes.co.uk |
Wentwood Forest near Llanvair Discoed is a great place for an Autumn walk. The forest is ancient; it used to be the hunting grounds of Chepstow Castle. It sprawls over 1000 acres, so it's difficult to know where to start walking, but there are routes available to download here http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/mediafile/100081485/wentwood-walks.pdf from the Woodland Trust. From the end of November you can pick up your Christmas tree and get a hot chocolate from here too!
I've been going to Wentwood since I was a kid in the 80s, and this was my favourite bit:
Wentwood Assault Course - www.caldicot.com/enjoy/wentwood.html |
Does anyone know if this is still here? I've been keeping a look out for the Krypton Factor style assault course but I cant find it. Wentwood is so big I could easily have missed it, but I've got a feeling it's been pulled down. I'd be grateful if someone could tell me!
