Paddling near Newport, Wales
Newport sits on the River Usk in south-east Wales, where that river flows for 137 km from the Brecon Beacons before emptying into the Severn Estuary. The city is a practical base for paddlers drawn to the Usk itself, the nearby Llandegfedd Lake, and the wider network of South Wales rivers and waterways.
