Imperial Park Bypass
Imperial Park Bypass
nr Coedkernew, Newport, NP10
This closed dual-carriageway appears to have been built as a bypass or access road around the Imperial Park just outside Newport; however, it doesn't seem to have ever been used (apart from filming!).
How to get here:
»
Road: M4 - Exit the M4 at junction 28, then follow the A48 westwards towards Castleton. At the third roundabout (Coedkernew) turn left and the bypass runs from the next junction. +
It is possible to park alongside the bypass on the side of the roundabout.
At the roundabout walk through the gateway onto the closed dual carriageway.

"You can see where the northern end of the bypass is completely overgrown,
something hidden by the traffic in the screenshot!"
