One page per pub, kitchen, ground and walk. Guides and news both point here. No ratings war.
pub
Newport · The High Street house that still feels like a town pub.

Skenfrith · Castle on one side of the river, a serious kitchen on the other.

venue

walk
Between Newport and Chepstow · The largest ancient woodland in Wales — and still under-walked.
Newport · The small room that still puts bands on. Tickets on the door until it isn’t.

restaurant
Caerleon · Hotel dining in the Roman village, useful before the amphitheatre.
Cardiff · The pint before the match, and after. No screens in the front if you sit down in time.
Cardiff · The stalls that still fill you for under £12, if you go before the office rush.
