Great place just outside Newport.Good facilities provided and easy to access for those with limited mobility.

Situated very close to a very busy main road, with no footpath and short length of grass verge,. No local amenities. Approach to nearby Newport almost entirely gridlocked . The site photos were a bit misleading showing big fields in the local area and wasn't able to get near any of the fields as they were all marked as Private Property. We had two dogs and so we were severely limited as to where we could safely walk them.
