Road Directions

Once in the village of Penallt, follow signs for ‘The Inn at Penallt’ pub – turning off at the war memorial. Where the road forks, instead of turning off to the right for the pub car park, keep on the straight track that leads past the large industrial barn building and follow this all the way round to the end. Parking is available above and below the medieval stone barn.

* The reserve consists of gently-sloping grassland and woodland. The ground is uneven in places and there is a steep hill. It is important to keep to the footpath and way-marked trails as Wyeswood Common is a working farm and machinery and livestock may be present.
