The nearest train station to Rodney Parade is Newport (Gwent).  It is not far away and should take less that 10 minutes to walk. 

Leave the train station via the entrance/exit at “Platform 1”. 

Cross the road (so that you are outside Admiral Insurance) and turn left. 
Follow the pavement.  It will eventually curve left (past Delilah’s Café and Bar).  This will bring you out near the Market Arcade and Popadom’s Indian Restaurant. 
Turn left and follow the road to the end. 

At the end of the road, you will see a staircase on your right.  Go down the stairs and through the underpass which will bring you out at Clarence Street Bridge.
