Zugang
Leave M4 at junction 23A and head south over railway line. First left, and after one mile reserve is on right. Use the small car park beside the Trust’s Derek Upton Centre. Click on the P in the map to get directions. By bus: From Newport, Magor town can be reached on bus route 74. Disembark at ‘Magor-Withy Walk’ bus stop and it’s a short 10-15 minute walk to the nature reserve via Redwick Road. Cross over the railway bridge and turn immediately left onto Whitewall.
The reserve is flat, with a path and boardwalk allowing wheelchair users access as far as the bird hide (400 metres from the car park). The 1 km trail leading around the reserve is surfaced, however there are steps and boggy, uneven ground in other parts of the reserve. Cattle and other livestock regularly graze some areas.
