By car/van small truck

 

From Usk

 

Leave Usk on Maryport Street, heading south past the prison and simply keep going for about 6 miles.  After about 2 miles you will start to climb and eventually you will reach the top of the hill in Wentwood Forest.  Then as you descend, after no more than half a mile, Wentwood Timber Centre is on the left immediately past three forestry cottages.  If you reach the reservoir you have gone too far.

 

From Newport or M4 junction 24

 

From Junction 24 of the M4 (Coldra) head towards Penhow on the Chepstow Road (A48).  After 3 miles turn left into Parc Seymour (opposite Groes Wenn Inn).  Continue past small shop on the left to the end of the housing area and keep going straight (sat nav may suggest turning right just before this – DON’T).  Road becomes narrower but still not bad.  Keep going uphill and then down a little and eventually (after two miles) the road ends at a T junction.  Turn right, and after no more than a mile, Wentwood Timber Centre is on the left immediately past three forestry cottages.  If you reach the reservoir you have gone too far.

 

From the East – Chepstow, Severn bridge etc

 

It is best to use the old Severn bridge and leave the motorway at exit 2 (signposted Chepstow), then after about a mile when you reach the roundabout take the first left onto the A48 (signposted Penhow) this is the Chepstow/Newport road.  From this road there are at least six roads on the right which could take you to Wentwood Timber Centre, but the best one to use is the one immediately after Caerwent signposted Llanfair Discoed.  Follow this road into Llanfair Discoed where it ends and turn right.  You are now on the Usk road which goes right to the Timber Centre (shortly after the reservoir, on the right next to three forestry cottages).

 

 

By curtainside truck/timber truck/large HGV

 

Drivers of large lorries beware: although Wentwood Timber Centre is on a decent road many of the roads a sat nav may suggest using to get there are tiny winding lanes.  The following routes are suitable for just about any size truck under 15ft high.

 

From Usk

 

Leave Usk on Maryport Street, heading south past the prison and simply keep going.  After about 2 miles you will start to climb and eventually you will reach the top of the hill in Wentwood Forest.  Then as you descend, after no more than half a mile, Wentwood Timber Centre is on the left immediately past three forestry cottages.  If you reach the reservoir you have gone too far.  Large trucks should note there is a weight restriction on the bridge in Usk so do not attempt this route from the Pontypool direction on the A472; also there is a low bridge in Usk (11˝ feet) just outside the town if heading from Abergavenny (B4598).  From the A449 there are no such problems.

 

From Newport or M4 junction 24

 

From Junction 24 of the M4 (Coldra) head towards Penhow on the Chepstow Road (A48).  From this road there are at least six roads on the left which could take you to Wentwood Timber Centre, but most of them are tiny lanes quite unsuited to HGVs.  The best one to use is the one immediately before Caerwent signposted Llanfair Discoed (approx 7 miles from Junction 24 M4).  Follow this road into Llanfair Discoed where it ends and turn right.  You are now on the Usk road which goes right to the Timber Centre (shortly after the reservoir, on the right next to three forestry cottages).

 

From the East – Chepstow, Severn bridge etc

 

It is best to use the old Severn bridge and leave at exit 2 (signposted Chepstow), then after about a mile when you reach the roundabout take the first left onto the A48 (signposted Penhow) this is the Chepstow/Newport road.  From this road there are at least six roads on the right which could take you to Wentwood Timber Centre, but the best one to use is the one immediately after Caerwent signposted Llanfair Discoed.  Follow this road into Llanfair Discoed where it ends and turn right.  You are now on the Usk road which goes right to the Timber Centre (shortly after the reservoir, on the right next to three forestry cottages).
