Parade

I love Newport, it has always felt like a town with potential and since the Great Western Greenway took form and started attracting tourists Newport has come into its own.
Those pubs that survived up until the missing 2000s have continued with the welcome addition of a couple of takeaways, an ice cream parlour, great cafes and most recently, a half decent gift shop in the form of Parade.
When I visited Parade was only 5 days open and already showing signs of becoming a focus for tourists.
They have it all, knitwear, home ware, a small coffee shop, some books, local arts and crafts and a selection of local honeys (as in stuff made by bees, not girls answering to a pimp).
Wifey told me there was fishing tackle there as well but I couldn’t see it.
like I said, a great and most welcome addition to Newport!
