Monmouthshire County Council Countryside Service, working with Friends volunteers, recently reinstated the wooden rail which helps walkers from the Mill Street entrance drop down to the level for the entrance to the meadows proper. Many walkers had missed this assistance, and those spoken to during the session were very appreciative of its reappearance.

Volunteers also cleared the surrounding pathways of grass and weed growth, and in so doing revealed a width which they couldn’t recall ever seeing in the first place. Only another 850 metres of pathway / cycleway from the meadows entrance to the Llanfoist Bridge to go!
