About RSPB Newport Wetlands
Nestling between the Severn Estuary and the River Usk on the beautiful South Wales coast, Newport Wetlands is a vibrant, exciting place for people and wildlife.
Our favourite times of the year are: Easter, where were run our brilliant Gwen Goose egg trail and pond dipping kicks off the season! Summer time is fantastic to explore the world of creatures great and small with bees buzzing, dragonflies darting and butterflies bouncy about flowers. Our Discovery Zone is a brilliant place to let the kids run wild and use their imagination to sore. Our natural play structures and bouncy bridge are a huge hit! The most magical time is the winter where Starlings murmurate and leave your jaw dropping! Some have even brought a tear, they are truly exceptional and an absolute must see!
Activities you can't do anywhere else!
Our pond dipping activities are our most popular thing to do on a trip here. From discovering the underwater world to watching Great Diving Beetles and Stickleback fish, what will you catch in your net?
Fantastic facilities
From our lovely shop full of nature friendly gifts and toys to our cosy cafe with wonderful views over the pond which serves homemade Welsh Rarebits and trusty fish finger sandwiches. Oh, and of course, plenty of coffee and cake! We also have natural play structures so your children's imagination can run wild as they discover new and exciting things.
