Newport is a port city nestling on the north shore of the Severn Estuary, the longest river in Great Britain. The estuary flows into the Bristol Channel, which separates Wales in the north from the Cornwall peninsula in the south. After passing the East Usk Lighthouse, which stands guard in the Newport Wetlands Nature Reserve, set off to discover this region’s natural and cultural heritage. Most notably, you will be able to admire the splendour of Tredegar House, a 17th century mansion with magnificent gardens, walk along the ruins of the Roman fortress, baths and amphitheatre in Caerleon, or visit the museum to learn more about the city’s social and industrial history.
