Directions
From Newport and the east
Detailed:
Get to M4 Junction 28 (Tredegar House / A48/ A4072) Take the dual carriageway A4072 (“Forge Road”) North for about 1 mile. At the roundabout take the second exit onto the A468 and into Bassaleg (“Baize-leg”). Bassaleg School is on your left; the Tredegar Arms is ahead of you at a small roundabout. Follow the A468 left at that roundabout. You drive through Bassaleg village (note the “best kept village 1476 sign – I may be exaggerating. You drive past Rhiwderin (“Roo-derrin”) village and into open countryside. you drive past Lower Machen (“Mack-en”) and through Machen (watch your speed here, schools and stuff) and back out into the open. You drive through Trethomas and past Bedwas, stopping at traffic lights with the road into Bedwas village on your right and Bedwas RFC on your left. Get into the right hand filter lane. The Sign Factory is in your right. At the next lights, right is signposted into Bedwas House Industrial Estate. Drive in.

Unless you live in Thornhill you'd be better off going to the A470. At the snackbar on the mountain you can turn right which takes you through Caerphilly town centre and past the castle. At the castle (which is on your left) you pass Caerphilly Job centre and Workingmen's hall on your right and come to some lights. get in the right-hand lane and follow signs to Newport. You will drive along Bedwas Road (B4600) with terraces on your left and open area on your right. At the end of Bedwas Road is a roundabout with 5 exits. Be in the right-hand lane to take the 3rd exit for Newport A468. You pass a Welsh Assembly building on your right and Peters Food Service on your left. Get into the left hand lane and turn left at the next lights. On your right, just as the road starts to bend left, is a Venture Wales building. Park in there, come in through the front door, notice the toilets, turn right and go to the end of the corridor and here you are!
