Description
Another busy morning over looking the River Usk and the 14th century castle, (not many people recognise the ruins) down at Newport. This car park is a good vantage point, but be aware of your parking times, as to my costs, fines are expensive. In 2023 coal trains are almost non-existent and HST history as well as t/t class 31s.
