Lilleshall Hall is set in hundreds of acres of park and woodland. It is well signposted from main roads as "National Sports Centre", but the impressive gates and two mile (yes - two mile) entrance road can lead the unwary to think they have strayed onto private property. The links and directions should get you to us in time for the match!
In general, follow the white or brown signs for "National Sports Centre". The main gates are set slightly back from the road on the inside of a bend (a right-hand bend if you are travelling from Newport) just opposite a retirement home.
Turn in through the gates and proceed along the approach road for about 2 miles. Note the 40 mph speed limit and speed humps. Do STOP where indicated at the small road crossing as traffic can and does fly down the road and your visibility is restricted. As you approach the buildings follow the road round to the left and just past the cottage turn left over the cattle grid into the car park.
Walk out from the car park (did you bring a trolley for your bowls bag?), cross the road and walk towards the archway guarded by lions. Take the track to the left just before the lions and follow it down between the box hedges. The club house is part way down the path on the right-hand side.
