Cardiff

The coolest "bridge" I have ever "driven" across! Drive aboard and take flight over the River Usk in this 110 year old engineering marvel. Only six of these historic bridges remain in operation, and the Newport Bridge is the longest with a 196m span (645ft). A modern highway bridge passes nearby, so these days the bridge operates as a novelty. Show up on either side, and the operator will come pick you up! You can also climb the steps and walk across the 54m (180ft) high catwalk.

The room was clean, the hotel itself was nice but the room was very basic and old fashioned! It also did not have a heating but they provided a portable heater which was sufficient.
