Monmouthshire Meadows Group has always worked very closely with Gwent Wildlife Trust. This trust also has a number of fantastic meadows which you may like to visit, either on the day of the Open day itself or possibly at a later date if you have enjoyed the Open day with us. These meadows include: NEWGROVE MEADOWS Directions: From Monmouth, leave south on the B4293, signposted Trellech and Mitchel Troy. Approximately 1 mile from Monmouth, take the left fork, signposted Trellech , Penallt and Chepstow. Continue along the B4293 up the hill and past the turning to Whitebrook and The Narth on the left. On a straight section of the road look for a small sign on the right pointing down a lane, indicating the footpath to Loysey. Take this turning and park in the forestry car park at the crossroads, grid reference SO 501 067. Walk back along the track and the gated entrance to the four meadows is on the left. PENTWYN FARM RESERVE Directions: By road, leave Monmouth traveling south on the B4293, signposted to Mitchell Troy and Trelleck. Approximately 1 mile from Monmouth the road forks left for Penallt and Trelleck. Take a second left fork about 2 miles further on (signposted Penallt). On entering the village(1˝ miles), turn left at the crossroads then right just before the war memorial (follow signs for Bush Inn). The reserve is adjacent to the Bush Inn. Parking is available by the Bush Inn or by the medieval barn. Please do not park on the village green. Best access to the reserve is by the green lane at the end of the village
