Wentwood, Summit and forested hill in Newport, United Kingdom
Wentwood reaches an elevation of 309 meters and contains extensive woodland trails throughout its sandstone formations in South Wales.
The Royal Forest of Wentwood functioned as a medieval hunting ground where specific forest laws were enforced at the Forester's Oaks courts.
Bronze Age burial mounds and stone circles remain preserved within the forest boundaries, indicating early settlement and ceremonial activities.
The Cadira Beeches car park provides free parking access to the forest paths, with information boards displaying trail maps for visitors.
Seventy-five bird species inhabit this forest, including turtle doves, nightjars, and spotted flycatchers that frequent the woodland environment.
