This 20-hectare site of flat, floodplain grazing land is next to the River Usk.
Paths are either tarmac, compacted earth/grass or concrete grids. Castle Meadows
is a popular spot for walking, exercising dogs and fishing. The area is part of a large
flood plain for the River Usk and as a result the ground can become flooded during
the winter and paths can become muddy. The circular route starts from Lower
Byfield Lane car park round to Mill Street. Linda Vista Gardens are formal gardens
next to Castle Meadows with flat grassy areas and paths, mostly of tarmac.
