About 7 miles north west of our Newport yard
Up the valley
Risca sits in the Ebbw valley, with Pontymister at the bottom end, Ty Sign up the hill, and Crosskeys and Cwmcarn further up.
A lot of the streets climb the side of the valley, and the terraces on them often front straight onto the pavement. If the street is steep or narrow, or the back is only reachable by a lane, tell us when you ring.
