You’re never far from a beautiful park or scenic countryside in Newport. Close to the city centre is Bellevue Park, a popular Victorian-era park with gardens conservatories and a pavilion – perfect for a lunchtime stroll or picnic. To the north of the city you’ll find Beechwood Park, Glebelands Park and Allt-yr-yn Nature Reserve, while sports enthusiasts will be impressed with the outdoor facilities on offer at venues such as Newport International Sports Village.
To the west of Newport, the Grade I listed Tredegar House is set within 90 acres of beautiful parklands. Said to be one of the most significant late 17th-century houses in the whole of the British Isles, it’s now owned by the National Trust which describes it as "one of the wonders of Wales".
Whilst you’re out, look out for Newport Transporter Bridge, which crosses the River Usk south of the city centre. The Grade I listed 1906 bridge is one of 10 of its kind worldwide, and is a popular attraction as well as a means of transport.
