It had to be done. The stretch through Newport is not the loveliest part of the Welsh coast. Nor is much of it actually on the coast, as the path goes inland to avoid the commercial docks to the west of the river Usk. Although the centre of the city has many shops and historic buildings, the mood of this part of the Welsh Coast path is “seen better days”. Clearing up the litter would be a good start. Sorry Newport!

The big news in Newport (as we were informed on separate occasions) is that the famous Transporter Bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Transporter_Bridge (built in 1906) is soon to be re-opened.
