How to find us

The map above should show everything you need to find us (or use multimap for a zoom-able OS map, or google maps if above map is not displayed). Just phone us if you need directions, we'll be happy to help.

By car ...

Newport is in South Wales about 7 miles east of Cardiff. The best route if you are unfamiliar with Newport is probably to travel to J27 ('High Cross') on the M4. From J27 follow signs for Newport City Centre. You'll travel along Risca Road initially. Straight on at the roundabout. Stay on this road, passing two sets of traffic lights. You'll pass the Cathedral (St.Woolos) on your right and then bear left and head downhill. Turn right at the Red Lion pub and you're on Charles Street!. We're a few doors down on the left opposite the park gates.

There is a large pay-and-display car park very close by, on Stow Hill. You can park at the Cathedral for free for a couple of hours. You may also be able to park on Charles Street itself, but don't forget to check the time restrictions.

By train or bus ...

The train station is at the top of the map, bus station at the right. It's about 5 minutes walk from each. Some buses stop outside St.Woolos Primary School which is opposite the top end of Charles Street.

By bike or foot ...

From Newport city centre on the main pedestrianised shopping street find John Frost Square and the Library and Museum entrance. From John Frost Square head past Vicara's chip shop and Millets, past Clarkes shoe shop and keep going up the road between The Body Shop and Lloyds Bank. Carry on up the hill past the job centre, keep going a few more metres and Barefoot Ceramics is on your right next to an archway.

There are cycle racks on Charles Street itself, opposite the Job Centre. These are large enough to lock up a motorcycle or scooter, though there is a slight incline.

Food?

We serve hot and cold drinks and sweet snacks (cookies, flapjacks, chocolate bars ...) but not sandwiches or hot food. If you're looking for a meal there are 3 cafes on our street and other places to eat in town which is only a stones throw away.

• Hunky Dorys - vegetarian/vegan food (Google place link)
• The Secret Garden - range of meals, particularly excellent sandwiches, 2 doors up from us
• Monet's Cafe

All our contact information is displayed at the bottom of this page or on the contact page.
