More about Newport
Welcome to Newport, the gateway that links England to Wales and the third largest urban area in Wales. Set on the Western bank of the Severn estuary, with the River Usk flowing through its centre, Newport has much to offer the visitor in terms of attractions including the fascinating Caerleon Roman Fort site, one of Wales' if not the UK's most interesting historic houses at Tredegar, Newport Castle, a canal network and canal history including the fourteen locks, a superb local museum with a selection of documents on the Chartist uprising which was strong here in Newport in 1839, and the Newport Wetlands Nature reserve created to replace the lost mudflats of Cardiff Bay. Another big attraction in Newport is the Grade 1 listed Transporter Bridge designed by the French engineer Ferdinand Arnoldin in 1906.
Newport is very proud to be Welsh and the Welsh flag can be seen flying in many places. The original name of the town in Welsh was Casnewydd-ar-Wysg, which means new castle on the USK.
