Hi

I am travelling to Newport to collect passport. Just wondering if anyone can suggest a decent location near to that area, as I wil have to wait for 4 hours for it to be processed. Thanks in advance.

I can't help much, as I'm not from the area, but Newport Wetlands RSPB Reserve springs to mind. Have been there once only though... Very nice place, for more details have a look here:

I'm sure someone else will chime in with other/better ideas.

Cheers,

Maciek

As Macs said Newport wetlands is an excellent reserve but it's not reachable by public transport, it would take approximately half an hour to drive out of Newport and it's a big reserve. But if you are in a car then probably worth it anyway. I miss it!

Make sure you familiarise yourself with directions if you do go though, I got lost on country lanes the first time. Having said that they've built a centre since I was last there so there are probably better signs now.
