Quarry entrance gate, Darran Road, Risca
Notices on the gate and nearby perimeter fences tell you to keep out. There are many dangers in a quarry site, including steep drops. Quarry walls may drop boulders and have rock slides at any time. And this is private property.

Entrance path to the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Risca
From Church Road. The church is part of the Church in Wales Diocese of Monmouth.
The Cadw website records that the building dates from 1852. The site was originally occupied by a Roman building associated with the Second Legion stationed at Isca (present-day Caerleon). A post-Conquest church was erected from c1146, a daughter church of Bassaleg. In 1733 the dedication was to St Peter, later to St Michael. In the 17th century Risca was spelt Ryseley, and Rhysga a century later. In the mid 18th century services were held in Welsh, by 1813 chiefly in Welsh.
In 1839 Chartists marching to Newport passed the church, which was locked to shelter parishioners. Wealth from coal seams discovered on parish land and the creation of the separate Parish of Risca led to the decision to demolish the old church and build anew. The 1852 church was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.
The building was Grade II listed in 1999.
