Although the nearest train station to Newport is Fishguard and Goodwick,  (8 miles from Newport), we recommend guests catch the train to Haverfordwest (22 miles) where there are connecting buses (T5 service).
There are no connecting buses from Fishguard and Goodwick, so you will have to organise a taxi, either direct to Newport of to Fishguard bus stop where you can connect tithe the T5 bus.

Haverfordwest station offers a fuller service.  Connecting buses (T5 service), which run every 2 hours, can be caught outside the train station.
​The bus takes approximately 1 hour to get to Newport, but there are no changes.
