It can be approached from the village of Trellech and any trip to the viewpoint could be easily combined with a wander around the village, which in the middle ages was among the largest settlement in Wales. Head for and park in the Forestry Commission car park, located about half a mile outside of Trellech. The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Tourism Association have developed a circular walk that takes in some of the highlights of this area. If your visit takes you to Trellech Beacon during dusk on a warm summers evening in late May or June, you may be lucky enough to hear or catch sight of an elusive bird, the nightjar. These summer migrants can be heard ‘churring’ from the undergrowth and with patience you may catch a glimpse of one as it quarters the evening sky in search of moths.
