    Irish Rugby Tours to Wales - Newport

Newport The Cathedral City

Rugby Tours To Newport

Rugby Tours to Newport has been a long standing affair with Irish Rugby Tours.

It is a university and cathedral city in the south east of Wales.

Located on the River Usk not far from Cardiff and is Wales’s third largest city.

Newport has been a port since the medieval times when the first castle was built by the Normans.

In 2002  Newport became a city and hosted the Ryder Cup 2010.

As Newport is one of the four sides from Wales to compete in the Guinness Pro14 it has had some big names play for the club.

Players like Luke Charteris, Adam Jones and Percy Montgomery.

Former Irish Coach Declan Kidney coached before his Munster days and former Irish player Bernard Jackman was also in charge.

Caerleon Roman Baths

The Roman Baths Museum lies inside the fortress of Isca Augusta circa AD 43. The fortress itself was only one of three permanent legionary forts that was based in Roman Britain.

Like the most famous Roman baths in Bath, this too is worth the visit.  Here you can see how the Romans changed Ancient Britain by bringing it into a new period.

The fortress was operational for over 200 years.

Medieval Ship Project

This 15th century ship was found in the muddy banks of the River Usk and will be ready to display sometime in 2018.

The ship was originally around 116 feet long and has been estimated to carry 161 tons. Historians know this because that’s how much wine it carried from France.

Vessels of this size were considered great ships by contemporary standards. They were typically used for the long-distance trade between Britain, Biscay and southern Iberia.

Remarkably restored by archaeologists and volunteers this is a gem to be seen.

Rugby Training With Newport Dragons

Training sessions are always looked forward to and this is no different.

Attend a intensive coaching session with coaches from the Newport Dragons.

It’s always great to learn something new from a new voice, no matter who it is.

It’s also a great opportunity for coaches too as they watch and learn from the big guns in the coaching world.

From these sessions teams have gone on to improve their results, winning championships and cups.

Footgolf

What can we say about this new sport that came to our attention a few years ago and now played around the world.

Played over a nine hole course it’s a case of kicking the football as far as you can and with fewer kicks than your partner to win.

One way to spend a great morning or afternoon with your team mates which can bring team bonding so much closer.
