Tourist Attractions
- Newport Castle. This old castle from the 14th century only consists of one flank and a busy road has been built right next to it. It is also threatened by the tides of the Usk River.
- Newport Transport Bridge. The Newport Transport Bridge is a transporter bridge, of which there are only eight in the world. Since the Usk is very shallow at Newport, shipping and a bridge would have been impractical. That is why this landmark of the city was built in 1906. Six cars and 120 passengers can cross the river in a floating ferry in a few meters. The engine room and the "walkway" are also accessible to visitors.
activities
in the Riverfront Arts Center one can experience the fine arts. The building was opened in 2004 and now offers space for exhibitions and theater performances. It's right on the river in the center of town, right on Bristol Packet Wharf.
