Choose your Welsh Water Adventure today…
A stunning south Wales beauty spot near Pontypool. We are just 20 miles from the Welsh capital of Cardiff and under 10 miles from the city of Newport. With a large 434 acre reservoir, the county boundary between Monmouth and Torfaen runs right through the water. We are easy to get to by car with ample parking on site. Just pop NP4 0TA into your sat nav and once on Sluvad Road ignore instructions to turn right into a narrow lane. Continue straight ahead for 3/4 mile. When you drop down into the valley and see us for the first time, the view will take your breath away.
