Taxi companies

Trains and buses

The closest train stations are Lydney (7 miles, 15-minute drive) and Chepstow (12 miles, 25-minute drive). From the station you can get a taxi to Clearwell.

Due to the rural nature of Clearwell, buses aren't a practical option.

Accessibility

From the car park, the main entrance is up a short flight of stairs. For step-free access you will need to use the side entrance via the main driveway. You can access the main driveway by taking a right just after entering the car park.

Guide dog

A guide dog will be present. Please do not interact with the guide dog as they will be working all day.

Downtime

The library will be available after the ceremony if you need a calm space, away from the crowd.
