IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Byron Road, NEWPORT, NP20 3HL

The view illustrates the steep slope along much of the length of Cae Perllan Road. The semi on the right side of each building is set about a metre lower than its neighbour on the left side.

This OS cut mark can be found at the junction of Cae Perllan Road & Byron Road. It marks a point 40.441m above mean sea level.

With the Severn Estuary and the North Somerset coast in the far distance. On a cold and still evening, there is a man-made cumulus or 'fumulus' cloud, the source of which I have been unable to ascertain, and some remnants of stratocumulus clouds to the right. This was my last walk in 2020 under tier 4 lockdown rules for Wales. We are allowed out of our homes to exercise, for unlimited times and periods each day. This is less stringent than the first lockdown in April 2020 when even the local parks were closed https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6447822 .

Housing on the north side of Byron Road, close to the Cae Perllan Road junction.

30 metres west of the turning for Anderson Close, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2172749 a path climbs away from Byron Road towards Melfort Road houses.

Anderson Close curves away from Byron Road. There are some lock-up garages, but no houses, on Anderson Close. Steps gives access from the garages to the back of the block of flats seen here, on Byron Road. At the right edge of the photo is a turquoise-coloured recycling lorry, collecting various items such as paper, glass, plastics and old clothes. These lorries are a common sight in Newport. They visit each street once a week, Mondays to Fridays, on the same day for any particular street each week.

The view to the SW from a footbridge. The single track in the distance on the right heads towards Gaer Tunnel and then Park Junction. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1579956 All the other tracks are part of the South Wales main line. A few tens of metres behind the camera are the two portals of Hillfield Tunnel, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1441421 leading to Newport railway station.

The Severn Estuary and the North Somerset coast can be seen in the distance.
