    This park is a slice of tranquility in the centre of Newport. I found it 3 years ago when I moved here and I've been visiting ever since. Its so beautiful to visit in the spring and summer with all the wonderful flowers and trees. The grounds are really well maintained and it is such a great place to walk your dog. Some of the levels of walking are quite steep so be mindful if you struggle with that. A wonderful cafe at the top entrance, serving drinks and food, seating indoors and outdoors. Really friendly staff. This place will always be one of my favourite.

    Belle Vue Park is without doubt the prettiest park in Newport. Throughout the year it offers beautiful colours. The tea rooms and bandstand are especially gorgeous. Offering refreshments and bathroom facilities in the old ornate building, which also has craft and food market events in summertime. The bandstand has the occasional activity or event going on through the summer. There is another court yard with centre fountain, but sadly I have noticed it has been unkept and is looking shabby of late, which is a shame. The roman columns are also a real gem at this park, especially pretty in autumn with bright red leaves cascading over the top. I really do love this park and often walk my dog there as it is peaceful and popular with dog walkers, having bowls of water dotted around the park to keep them hidrated during the walk. It's also a great park for families with children, having lovely walks, with lots of open space for a picnic, and a playground area that is well kept with all the usual park apparatus. On the down side, parking isn't great as you have to pay, and it isn't very big so can get full very quickly in summer, but there is free parking outside the upper gates if you're lucky enough to find a space! Also, I would say, this park isn't fully disability friendly, and it is important to note that it is steep on a hillside so may be tricky in parts. Saying that though, it is fairly accessible, with wide, well maintained pathways that give access to most areas if you can't use the steps, but for wheelchair users, I think you'd struggle and would definitely need a helping hand to fully enjoy this park. All in all, this park is definitely worth a visit. Peace and tranquility are assured.

    A nice family park. If you are looking for a peaceful place to spend time with family. This park has ample parking space, please do carry cash.. the card machine was not working when we were there.. the best part of the day was to cherish the musical band at the park.. a wonderful place.

    Went to park today. Beautiful day as you can see. Lovely tearoom and there was a craft Market but we arrived just a bit late really. But did see the amazing male voice choir. What a fantastic place and if I lived in Newport I would love to live near there.

    It's a lovely place to walk with your family. Easy parking, coffee, toilets and a very nice, quiet and beautiful area to walk or seat in one of the multiple benches and relax.

    Lovely park to have a leisurely stroll around then visit the cafe for very reasonably priced food & drink.

    Lovely garden, long as you dont mind a hill to walk up, as the whole of gardens is based on a hill. The cafè at top is well worth it!! From cream teas, jacket potatoes, other lunches and variteies of cakes. Me an daughter had tea and cake just a shame did not have time to stay for lunch. Staff were more than helpul and friendly. So will be back, also worth a pop in even if have to do a hospital visit.

    Stunning grounds a beautiful and tranquil place! the tennis courts need to be better taken care of they are great courts however they are covered in dead foliage could do with a clear out once a week to keep on top of it. Cafe is great and reasonably priced with scenic views. Children's playground is OK could do with some better equipment.

    Went looking for squirrels and found many. Also had the most delicious cakes found on this side of Newport! And homemade ice cream milkshakes went down a treat. Beautiful park, very good park for the little ones and a lot of trees. Found some beautiful snowdrops and spent an hour just wandering and enjoying the scenery. My kids loved everything! My husband and I were swayed by cake!

    Love this park! So many gorgeous trees and little nooks and crannies! I'm not sure if my dog is actually allowed to be off lead here but she absolutely loves running about and smelling all the smells!

    Found this by accident whilst looking for a place to take the dog en route to Cardiff. Beautiful Victorian park with some awesome trees, on a slope with some glimpses of the coast (not quite a ‘belle vue’ but good if you like industrial landscapes)! The cafe is brilliant lots of outside seating and doggy friendly too. Worth a visit.

    Love this park, it's just big enough for a good walk with lots of nature around. The tea room does a brilliant breakfast and the evening events they put on are brilliant.

    Pleased to find free parking near one of the gates. We stopped for an hour on our way from Brecon to Cardiff as a mid way point to walk the dog. It's a lovely place where we were able to meet up with other dogs owners and chat a bit. There were 2 wooden bridges surrounded by flowers and lush vegetation. The grass looks freshly cut and the kids playground was filled with their laughter. It is very hilly so be ready for it.

    Beautiful park with steep hills, my daughter really enjoyed walking around and playing at the park there. Perfect Sunday morning walk!

    Belle Vue Park in Newport is a great park with super tea room. The park is on a hill with some steps and paths on an incline. Mature trees and beautiful flower beds. Really loved the quaint old fashioned tearoom serving lunch snacks, cakes and teas and coffees. Outside the tearoom builfing currently has scaffolding around it, but is is open. Very quick efficient service and great selection of cakes.
