Local area guide
Skip hire in Newport
Newport — Casnewydd in Welsh — is a city in south Wales, sitting on the River Usk around 12 miles east of Cardiff, with a population of around 160,000. It is the third largest urban area in Wales and grew from a Norman castle town into one of the great coal-exporting ports of the world, shipping the output of the eastern valleys through its docks. It was granted city status in 2002.
Newport's most remarkable structure is the Transporter Bridge, opened in 1906 — a vast blue gantry carrying a suspended gondola across the Usk, built because the banks were too low for a conventional high bridge and the river too busy for a swing span. It is one of fewer than ten working transporter bridges left in the world and a Grade I listed monument, currently undergoing major restoration.
The city holds a central place in British political history as the site of the Newport Rising of November 1839, the last large-scale armed rebellion against authority in mainland Britain. Thousands of Chartists marched on the Westgate Hotel demanding the vote; soldiers opened fire, killing at least twenty. The bullet holes are still visible in the hotel's pillars, and the rising is commemorated across the city. Newport's other extraordinary find is the Newport Medieval Ship, a fifteenth-century vessel discovered in the Usk mud in 2002 — the most complete medieval merchant ship ever found, currently being conserved.
Roman Caerleon, on the city's northern edge, was Isca, one of only three permanent legionary fortresses in Britain, home to the Second Augustan Legion for over two centuries. Its amphitheatre — long identified in legend with King Arthur's Round Table — barracks and baths are among the finest Roman remains in the country. The Celtic Manor Resort hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup and the 2014 NATO summit.
Newport sits on the M4 with Newport station giving services to Cardiff in 12 minutes, Bristol, and London Paddington in around 90 minutes. Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Maindee, Pill and Stow Hill built for the docks and works, to substantial villas in Caerleon and Bassaleg, interwar and post-war estates at Bettws, Alway and Ringland, and very substantial modern development on former steelworks and dockland, with property among the more affordable in south-east Wales.
