Another in our "Newport Parks"
series, Tredegar Park is more functional and less ornamental than
the other parks, but does have the advantage of being flat making
it easier for wheelchair-users and pushchairs.
Tredegar Park suffers from something of a split personality. Split,
that is, by the A48. To the North of the A48 is the area now known
as Tredegar Park, while to the South is the larger Tredegar House
and Country Park. Both parts were originally part of the estate of
the Lords Tredegar (the Morgan family), with Tredegar Park being
gifted to Newport Borough Council around 1900 whereas the House and
Country Park remained in the ownership of the Morgan family until
1951. Between 1951 and 1974 the premises were used as a school
before being finally sold to Newport Borough Council in 1974.
For this cache, our interest lies in the smaller Tredegar Park.
This is a well-used park, with several football pitches, rugby
pitches and tennis courts. There is ample parking at the park
entrance. There is a large children's playground but regretably no
regular refreshment facilities.
This is a very busy park, and it will be difficult to retrieve it
stealthily for that reason. The cache is small, and you will need
to bring your own writing instrument.
