About Newport
Lying on the River Usk northeast of Cardiff, Newport is a city in the far southeast of Wales. Once famous for its coal exports, Newport and its historic docks now welcome visitors to explore the sights and activities in this vibrant city.
To get a taste of Welsh culture and tradition, visit the Newport Indoor Market. Reconstructed in 1887, this traditional market hall is a great place to taste local foods, like bara brith and Welsh cakes, or pick up some handmade crafts.
South Wales is known for its castles, and Newport lives up to this reputation. Built in the 14th century, Newport Castle sits on an embankment overlooking the River Usk. Although you can't enter the castle, plenty of footpaths provide trails around the building for 360-degree viewing.
Although Newport has attracted many of the big-name brands and usual high street shops, what makes the city special is that it has managed to maintain a large proportion of its independent stores, restaurants, and cafes. You can find some of the best shopping and dining on Clytha Park Road, the perfect place to begin a pleasant walk.
Newport is accessible via rail, thanks to many rail services between London Paddington and South Wales. National Express buses also provide service from Newport to London, Bristol, Cardiff, and their airports, among other destinations.
