Crossway otherwise Crossways is a hamlet near the village of Newcastle in north Monmouthshire. It lies on the B4347 road, just to the northeast of Hilston Park, about a mile south-west of Skenfrith and about seven miles north-west of Monmouth.
Welsh manuscripts mention Ty Gwyn at Crossways as a "slight building; a sort of hunting place, built with white rods".[1] Ty Gwyn farm is now known for its Ty Gwyn cider, made since 1969 and marketed since 2007, and supplied to Waitrose and the Royal Opera House.[2] Hilston Park lies just to the southwest of the hamlet.
