The WOW factor
“There’s always a real WOW factor on reaching the viewing platform and from here we are able to get a new and surprising perspective of the Tredegar House parkland and beyond”, said Susan.
“On a sunny day, the sight of the Oak Avenue extending over the hill to Bassaleg is spectacular and you can even forget and forgive the presence of the M4. It has also been great to see up close the wonderful workmanship of the builders and how quickly their work has progressed.
“The builders were always happy to help us answer a difficult question or two on technical points.
“We have had visitors from all over the world – USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, France and even Newport. They have loved it and expressed their enthusiasm and support by entering our fundraising raffle.
“For the volunteer team, it is clear that we have all thoroughly enjoyed this new experience and appreciate the pleasure that visitors have expressed so far. It’s a shame it has to end so soon.”
