Discover Pillgwenlly's past and the Transporter Bridge’s future on this free walk!
About this Event

In 1807, the Tredegar Wharf Company bought 200 acres of land of what was to become the community of Pillgwenlly, as dock workers flocked to the area from all around the world.

Meeting at Pill Millennium Centre, join the Gwent Archives and Newport Transporter Bridge Project teams, on this 1.5 mile urban walk to discover the history, characters and stories of how this ‘City within a City’ grew under the shadow of our 119-year-old Transporter Bridge.

There, we’ll learn about the current restoration project plus an exclusive opportunity to explore inside the brand-new Visitor Centre- and enjoy some light refreshments!

Please note:

Once you have booked on please keep an eye on the InBox of the email address you used to book your place for the event, as important information will be sent out prior to the day.

Fingers crossed the weather will be knind to us, but be mindful that the walk format might be altered to adapt to any advers conditions.

As this walk includes the opportunity to explore our new Visitor Centre, there is no official finish time - so please make sure you take this into account when planning your attendance. We would hate for you to miss this opportunity : )

Although this walk is FREE - donations are always welcome and appreciated!
