All routes lead to newport


A port since medieval times, Newport’s strategic location where the river Usk flows into the Severn Estuary, is no accident. Its prime position where river, canal, roads and rail converge makes it an amazing hub for walking and cycling. And travelling to Newport to set out on your recreational route is easy; the M4 skirts the city and the railway links directly to London, Birmingham and Manchester.


Walking


For seasoned walkers there are long linear routes, including the 48-mile Usk Valley walk and the 27-mile Sirhowy Valley walk. If you’ve got less than a day, there is a wide range of circular routes, some linked to the Wales Coast Path which passes through the heart of the city:


‘What a wonderful thing: to walk the entire length of a country’s coastline, to trace its every nook, cranny, cliff-face, indent and estuary. How better to truly appreciate the shape – and soul – of a nation?’ Lonely Planet


The 23-mile stretch of the Wales Coast Path through Newport is incredibly diverse, from nature reserve to city centre riverfront. Which bit will you choose?
