Heading to one of our holiday cottages? Why not stop off at Tredegar House and Park in Newport. It’s just off the M4 (Junction 28) and makes a brilliant break on your journey.

We had a lovely visit: free entry to the park (with a small car park fee), plus a 20 acre off-lead area for dogs, which is perfect if you’re travelling with pups. 🐾

You can also pay to go into the house and gardens...we did, and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! 🌿

Only a 10 minute walk from Old Road Cottage, or a short drive to the multi storey car park.
