Garden Festival Clock (In the Nick of Time)

Highlight • Monument

The Garden Festival Clock, nicknamed "In the Nick of Time," was a distinctive feature in Newport's John Frost Square, designed by sculptor Andy Plant in 1991 at a cost of £100,000. Originally created for the Welsh Garden Festival in Ebbw Vale, the clock's hourly show of skeletons, devils, cuckoos, and angels made it a popular attraction. After the festival, it was relocated to Newport but faced challenges due to frequent repairs.

The clock stood in John Frost Square until 2008 when it was removed for square regeneration. Despite plans to bring it back being halted by the recession, a 2011 report revealed mechanical issues, estimating £59,000 for restoration. St Modwen, developers of Glan Llyn, offered to place the structure at their site. In 2015, the clock found a new home on a roundabout at Glan Llyn, where it remains today.

Pye Corner Cycleway

Highlight • Trail

This short cycleway links Pye Corner with Corporation Road, avoiding busier roads through the woods and past the sludge beds. It's gravelly but pretty light, so you should be able to get through here on most kinds of bikes when it's dry, at least.

You can pick up another cycle lane that runs alongside Meadows Road if you want to head north from Pye Corner.

St Thomas the Apostle Church, Redwick

Highlight • Historical Site

Redwick stands out as the most well-preserved medieval nucleated village on the Gwent Levels, maintaining an almost unchanged layout with minimal modern structures.

Its origins likely date back to the late eleventh or twelfth century, and the village continues to be in use today, showcasing a diverse architectural history spanning various periods.

Redwick bears witness to historical events, as evidenced by a mark outside its church walls indicating the height reached during the catastrophic Great Flood of 1607. This devastating event claimed the lives of thousands of people and animals.
