It's a real joy making the journey up to Coed Ochram. Once off the Abergavenny road, the tiny road immediately starts to climb quite steeply flanked by great gnarly beech trees which form a tunnel for much of the journey. Arriving at the main gate you cross the 'plateau' of Coed y Prior Field where views open up all around and then drop down slightly into a shared parking area with views of the Usk Valley stretching out before you.

Taking the right fork southeasterly out of the parking area, a solid stone track providing good, all weather vehicle access leads you to Coed Ochram at the southeastern corner of the larger woodland.

There is a 'hammerhead' entrance to Coed Ochram, shared with the neighbouring wood, which leads on into a private stoned parking area for Coed Ochram's sole use. This is big enough for a camper van or would make a sheltered camping spot.

Continuing along the vehicle track past the entrance to Coed Ochram, you will come to a track forking off to the left. This track takes you all the way through the woodland following the contour of the hillside, and provides useful access to the middle of the wood, as well as more practical level areas for forestry actvities or taking in the view which is superb! Although this track continues through the neighbouring woodland to rejoin the track to the main shared parking area, access has been limited as far as the boundary of Coed Ochram in order to preserve privacy for the neighbouring woodland.

It would be very feasible to create a zigzag foot path through the woodland, linking the hardstanding to the lower track, and opening up some small clearings would make Coed Ochram even more enjoyable. There are some wonderful mosses and lichens of many varying hues which highlighted against the white of the birch bark are quite spectacular.
