Heritage on the Horizons: Goldcliff to Newport Wetlands Loop

Heritage on the Horizons: Explore old ruins on the Gwent Levels, with DigVentures and Living Levels

Join one of three mini-excursions with DigVentures to explore the old ruins and historic buildings hidden just off the beaten path on the Gwent Levels.

From medieval homes to Iron Age hillforts, you'll walk away with the skills to observe and record the key features that archaeologists look for, and the opportunity to continue exploring history on foot... Plus there's an online option too!

Goldcliff to Newport Wetlands Loop: Starting at the tiny medieval church of St Mary’s at Goldcliff, we'll head off along the Wales Coast Path via the East Usk Lighthouse, to the Newport Wetlands. We'll return via the magnificent St Mary’s Church at Nash, known locally as ‘The Cathedral of the Moors’, and end up back at the Farmer's Arms.
