Tredegar Park, Tredegar Fort and Fourteen Locks

For various reasons it's been a while since our last walk, but yesterday we were finally able to get out for the first time in almost a month. Once again walking from our home in Rhiwderin, we opted for a semi-urban walk this time, so as to avoid the worst of any mud after several days' heavy rain.

I've plotted the route taken below, but briefly our walk connected a number of green spaces to the west of Newport, including Tredegar Park, the fabulous viewpoints of Tredegar Fort and Ridgeway, Coed Melyn Park and the recently restored Fourteen Locks. A number of photos can be found here.

There were a few ups and downs along the way, but our efforts were rewarded with a pint (or two) in the Tredegar Arms, Rogerstone (the walk also passes another Tredegar Arms in Bassaleg). For a detailed description of a very similar route, see my contribution on the Walkingworld website.
