Treetops Shooting Ground
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treetops Sporting Ground is a sporting clay pigeon shooting ground located in Coedkernew, Newport, South Wales. It has facilities for air rifle owners. The grounds contain a large area set aside for paintballing, and is a venue for team building activities and birthday parties.
The ground's Cefn Llogell woodland site was part of Lord Tredegar's estate and the Nant-y-Moor brook which runs through the wood feeds the large lake at Tredegar House.
The land was purchased from the farmer owner in the late 1980s by DJ Litt Firearms Ltd, a gun retailer based in Newport, with the intent of turning it into a clay shooting ground allowing gun customers to try out guns before purchasing them.
One of the lakes on the land was constructed by Lord Tredegar as a header store of water to supply his estate.
It is possible to see the Second Severn Crossing bridge from the entrance gate. Treetops sporting ground has recently changed names. Nant Y Moor Park will be opening its doors very soon.
