Llanyrafon Methodist Church, Cwmbran. Viewed from Llanyrafon Way. Comparison with a photo taken one year earlier 1200800 shows that one of the trees has been chopped down, with only a small stump remaining, allowing a little more of the church to be seen now.

Staff on reception were very professional and helpful. Only reason not 5 star was the lift was faulty and meant people had to walk up to the first floor to use the lift.

Well-preserved oval mound that once hosted gladiatorial combat and military processions. This amphitheater was built for the Roman forces at Isca around AD 90 and would have seated around 6000 spectators!

Caerleon

4/5(1 area review)

Caerleon is noteworthy for its restaurants, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Caerleon Amphitheatre and Isca Augusta.

Caerleon
The coolest "bridge" I have ever "driven" across! Drive aboard and take flight over the River Usk in this 110 year old engineering marvel. Only six of these historic bridges remain in operation, and the Newport Bridge is the longest with a 196m span (645ft). A modern highway bridge passes nearby, so these days the bridge operates as a novelty. Show up on either side, and the operator will come pick you up! You can also climb the steps and walk across the 54m

Pillgwenlly

Pillgwenlly might not have many top sights, but Newport Docks and Newport Transporter Bridge are two attractions nearby that you can check out.
