Looking for a handy dog-friendly base from which it’s easy to visit the likes of Cardiff and the Wye Valley? Hold your horses, for Northern Hay Stable is a very friendly family-run site next to a horse-riding school in the Ridgeway area of Newport. The Ridgeway area is a scenic part of Newport with views of the city – and handily enough, Northern Hay Stables is a 20-minute walk from one of its most popular dog-friendly cafés. Closer by, 10 minutes’ walk away from the site, there’s also an old-fashioned café serving tasty ice cream. When you want to explore the city, there is a handy 15-minute connection to the city centre from the bus stop five minutes’ walk away. Otherwise, bring your bicycle to this well-maintained site, as it’s a 20-minute walk from the Fourteen Locks Canal Centre. This particular spot is on National Cycle Route 47 and has access to a pretty canal towpath and the Sirhowy Valley Walk. The Allt-Yr-Yn Nature Reserve is also a 40-minute walk away. For trips further afield, the site is just a one-minute drive from Junction 27 of the M4, which will take you to Cardiff in around 25 minutes and the Wye Valley National Landscape in around 40 minutes. Well-maintained facilities at this friendly site include a toilet and shower block and charging facilities. Barbecues have the green light.
