THE Victorian Belle Vue Park sits in the heart of Newport city centre and features a pavilion, band stand, bridges, rockeries and a wide collection of trees. The land was gifted by Godfrey Morgan, Lord Tredegar, and was designed by landscape architect T. H. Mawson. The park opened to the public in 1894.
