245: Wentwood Reservoir, Mynydd Alltir-fach and Gray Hill (Monmouthshire and Newport 2024)

MONMOUTHSHIRE AND NEWPORT WALK FEATURING WENTWOOD RESERVOIR, MYNYDD ALLTIR-FACH AND GRAY HILL "Wentwood Reservoir, Mynydd Alltir-fach and Gray Hill” Filmed 21st July 2024 Post-production completed 16th August 2024 In the last of the six films I shot in July 2024, I return to Wentwood again, another area I knew from childhood, but was also a major location in my very first Solitary Rambler film from 1993. I made my 100th film in Wentwood in 2018, which was the 25th anniversary special, so why have I come back here again? There is a good reason, which will be revealed when you watch this. Filmed in the counties of Monmouthshire and Newport. Locations include Wentwood Reservoir, Mynydd Alltir-fach, Gray Hill and Cadeira Beeches. Written, presented, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach. Special thanks to Visit Monmouthshire for their information used in my research for this film.

Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
