Location & Directions. The Celtic Manor Resort is set in 2,000 acres of panoramic parkland in the beautiful Usk Valley, just off the M4 (J24), only 90 minutes from London Heathrow, 45 minutes from Cardiff Airport and Bristol Airport and 5 minutes from the Severn Bridge. We are located close to intercity rail services at Newport, with direct. The shamanic landscape can be broken into five or seven parts depending on your inclination, but always contains the four primary directions: East, South, West and North and a central point or axis. It varies as to if "Above" and "Below" are also recognized individually because the central axis is seen as inherently connected to these two spaces.
