When you are looking from afar!

If you ever find yourself looking out for our Newport Transporter Bridge from afar – whether it's on top of looking down, or (possibly?!?) Clevedon Pier looking across, a Top Transporter Tip is to look for our ‘Golden Cables’. As the sun catches them they look like two thick golden lines – and then you’ll (just about) see our Bridge!

See how our garden grows!!

A wet winter followed by some welcome warm sun has seen the Newport Transporter Bridge Project Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge East Anchorage Garden awash with blossom colours from our fruit trees this Spring. Apples, plums and cherries have now taken over from the daffodils and crocuses. Our perennial wildflower meadow and annual pollinator beds are ready to take up the cheery challenge into Summer, all under the shadow of our blooming marvellous Bridge!

The Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge held another successful AGM at the new visitors centre. The talk on Shackleton and the Newport Stowaway by Stella Evans and song Stowaway by Paul Chilcott were also extremely well received. It was a great turn out and we thank all our Friends for their continued support.

A special thank you goes to all of our generous raffle donations - from handmade Jewlery to vouchers for cake what’s not to love! This particular support from local businesses was outstanding and we can’t thank them enough for their support. The Rogue Welsh Cake Company of cymru of the home Sainsbury’s Waterstones Newport South Wales Scroll through to see how lucky we’ve been - and do support our lovely generous Friends! Diolch yn fawr!
