Things to see and do in Newport

Wildlife and nature in Newport

This is a great place to live if you love spending time outdoors, thanks to spots like Cwmcarn Forest, Blaen Bran Community Woodland and Llandegfedd Reservoir. From wetland walks to hikes along the coast and climbs up Twmbarlwm, you can also head north to conquer the more challenging peaks which characterise this part of South Wales.

Leisure activities in Newport

Back in town you can make the most of the leisure activities at the Newport Centre, visit the picturesque Newport Castle and the city’s art, archaeology and local history museum, and go shopping at the indoor Victorian market. 

Dog-friendly attractions in Newport

Take the dog to Belle Vue Park and don’t miss Allt-yr-yn Nature Reserve either with its pretty woodland and walking trails either.
