Gwent Police HQ, Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran
The area covered by Gwent Police is about 600 square miles, bounded by Abergavenny in the north, Newport in the south, Chepstow in the east and Caerphilly in the west.
Gwent was an ancient kingdom in SE Wales. From 1974 to 1996, it was the name of a county made up of most of the former administrative county of Monmouthshire and the county borough of Newport. Gwent lives on in some names, such as the police force and the rugby team Newport Gwent Dragons.
A local newspaper continues to use Gwent, as a shorthand way of referring to the area known as Monmouthshire before 1974.

Track along the west side of the Croesyceiliog Bypass
For pedestrians who've crossed the A4042, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2601086 the track is an alternative to this kissing gate http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2601094 leading into the grounds of County Hall. I chose the kissing gate, so don't know if the track reaches Turnpike Roundabout, 300 metres away.
