Newport Attractions Casnewydd

Newport/Casnewydd (pop. 133,000), an important port and Wales' third-largest town, lies at the mouth of the River Usk. At high tide the waters of the Severn Estuary can rise by up to 30ft/9.15m here, so the bridges over the Usk - there are five in Newport - have been built especially high. This port and industrial town is home to large chemical and aluminum works.
Greenmeadow Community Farm
Greenmeadow Community Farm is one of Wales' top twenty attractions. Visitors can pet and feed a variety of farm animals, as well as take a tractor ride or wander along nature trails.
