    About

    Nestling between the Severn Estuary and the River Usk on the beautiful South Wales coast, Newport Wetlands is a vibrant, exciting place for people and wildlife. Newport Wetlands is a blend of wetlands, reedbeds and estuary habitats, including the thick, squelchy mud that waders and wildfowl love to forage in. Look among the reedbeds for Lapwings and Oystercatchers, or look skyward for Swallows and Swifts through the summer. Warm days bring dragonflies, bees and Grass Snakes out, and we also often see Weasels and Stoats. As dusk falls, watch thousands of Starlings take to the sky for their beautiful winter murmurations. We have a Café and shop and parking including Blue badge spaces.

    Lots to see at RSPB Wetlands Newport.

    The car park is a good size with disabled bays readily available, I pre- booked a mobility scooter from the RSPB over the phone call was quick and easy. Get size scooter was out by reception a short form to fill in (ins). The toilet are right there good size and easy access. With a cracking cafe and shop all on hand. The site when travelling around is a mixer of tracks gravel and tarmac mostly gravel, there are a couple of steep slopes but they have zigzag slopes to make it easier to get up or down them. Once you get on the coastal path there are really good views across the marshes and sea. There is a lighthouse roughly halfway around the pathway, and talk of building a toilet block by the lighthouse this would be a god send as I have had to return to the toilet before following the rest of the route around. In all a good time had by my wife and grandsons and as members of the RSPB carpark is free.
