From Monmouth head up the A40 towards Ross on Wye. You will travel past some major roadworks (shouldn't be a problem on a Sunday). As soon as the roadworks end you will see an Arch Bridge going over the dual carriageway. Immediately after passing under this bridge, exit the dual carriageway signposted Ganarew etc. and follow the road around to go over the Arch Bridge then at the junction turn left and the car park is almost immediately on the righthand side.
