Bridges Inevitably where there’s water, there are bridges. In Newport you’ll find seven bridges over the
river Usk including the Grade-I listed Transporter Bridge and George Street Bridge – the UK’s first cable-stayed bridge. The newest addition is Newport City Footbridge; the highest ever wirewalk in Europe was performed here in 2010.

Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal Former industrial artery, this tranquil waterway runs, almost unseen, into the city.
The best place to get up close is at Fourteen Locks Canal Centre.

Newport Wetlands Reedbeds, saltmarsh, mudflats, water channels. Heaven for bearded tits, dunlins, little egrets and
many more species. Pretty special for people, too. When Kate Humble, broadcaster and naturalist, opened the Visitor Centre she said: ‘You can be in amongst the most beautiful scenery within minutes of leaving Newport City centre. One visit really brings you closer to nature.’
