           Paul riding past the Ice Cream van              From a similar viewpoint in June 2006

Welsh Newton Common is the area used when filming the scenes involving Paul, when he goes off in search of medical supplies for Jenny who has fallen ill, and also when he returns and stays in a hut where he later dies. Welsh Newton Common is located about 5 miles north of Monmouth just off the A446 near Welsh Newton (OS sheet 162 GR SO512174)                                                                          If approaching from Monmouth, turn right at Welsh Newton, then right again after about one mile.  A bus shelter now stands near the spot where Paul rode past an abandoned Ice Cream van. With the bus shelter on your left carry on into the village fast a big tree and on your right there is a track you see Paul coming down. Keep going and on your left you will see a field with a ramshackle stone barn towards one side - this is the Barn Paul dies in. - You get a better view by nipping down the side track in between the houses.
