Driving

Route 1 - From the M4 take Junction 27, High Cross, and follow the B4591 to Cwmcarn.  Google may take you onto the A467 as it is quicker to bypass the local villages.

Route 2 - From the M4 take Junction 28, Tredegar House,  and head for the A467 until you reach the turning for Cwmcarn on the B4591 - look out for the mountain bike roundabout - that's us! 

Both routes take about 15 minutes from the motorway.

Please note: Parking in the village is limited to street parking (there is no carpark) so if possible public transport is a great option.
