Sights to see
Although the pubs and restaurants are fantastic, this market town has far more to offer than places to eat and drink. Dotted around Newport and its surrounding areas are some 12th century buildings that have been standing since the town was founded. While most of them were burned down in the 17th century, one that remains is St Nicholas Church which has been restored to its original glory. From architectural beauty to that only a painter can create, the Artworx Gallery resides within a Grade II-listed home to an impressive range of original works and prints.
Local walks
There are few better counties for a leisurely stroll than Shropshire. The hills, the colours, the authentic sense of fresh air; the county is the place to be for getting out and about on foot. Newport is a great base for it, offering many appealing trails of its own. Many of them taking place in Lilleshall, with hills, gardens, and grounds, all of which ready to be explored. What if walking is too slow of a pace? What if you want to take your bike for a spin? Follow the old rail trail from Newport to Stafford Greenway and take in the scenery that passes you by.
