WITH just a month a one day to go until Christmas, it's getting close to time to think about getting your decorations up - if you haven't already.

While some opt for artificial trees there’s nothing quite like a real Christmas tree – complete with pine scent – to decorate, put presents under and spread some festive cheer.

Here are some of the places near Newport and Monmouthshire offering real Christmas trees.

WENTWOOD FOREST

Nestled between Newport and Monmouthshire, Wentwood Forest will be offering sustainable Christmas trees from Friday, November 27.
