Travelling back home from the Mumbles , we wanted to see this place en route , as it was seared into our memory when we were in our early 20's. It is immaculately kept and a great tribute to all those children and adults who died that day .. There is a steep climb in the cemetery to get to the memorial graves, so take that into account when you visit . On a practical note , there is no signpost to the cemetery when you are heading from Merthyr Tydfil on the A4054 , so asked someone and parked near a church and walked over a footbridge to the village. There were signs from the other direction , we later discovered. This is why we are not certain about parking facilities that are closer.

Very picturesque little village of Newton which is just outside the main Porthcawl area. 2 pubs, village green, and a pretty, little church! Pretty in Summer, very lovely covered in Winter's snow!

A Cathedral full of history in a unique setting. The newly restored Organ Loft, houses an unbelievable array of pipes, which when played, thoroughly compliment the organist and this magnificent Cathedral.

walking through the grand entrance to what appears to be a small cemetery you are immediately treated by 3 small chapels adjacent to one another and very elaborate head stones many with wonderful stories of their occupiers on walking through the cenmetay you are witness to unbelievable views of a miniature national park it is beautiful birds singing small squirrels darting back and for the the trees there are many monuments to the fallen war heroes dotted in groups all over the cemetery from all aspects of armed forces and from across the world on looking on the website for newportpast.com there are specific head stones and monuments you can look out for with very interesting stories one of the most interesting facts i learnt was that this was the first Public Cemetery in Britain prior to this. The exercise from walking around and taking in the immense history is lovely and done with ease their are many varying headstones from over the years and from many differing religions, the jewish part of the cemetery is behind fencing but visible, permission needs to be gained to enter and view this. The italian community have a large section of the cemetery with beautiful elaborate stones marking their lost and loved. The history of Newport is painted across this place in monuments and gravestones for the fallen in the building of the severn bridge,brynglas tunnels and many more historical sights
