Standing at the gateway between England and Wales, Newport is a vibrant, forward-thinking city steeped in a rich industrial heritage, dating from the nineteenth century when its important strategic location was first recognised.

Newport is surrounded by beautiful landscapes including the Wye Valley, the Vale of Usk, the Brecon Beacons National Park and Forest of Dean.

Newport is home to two of the architectural wonders of Wales - the seventeenth century Tredegar House, and the impressive 177ft high Transporter Bridge.

Britain’s most varied and interesting Roman site at Caerleon, and the tranquillity and history of the Fourteen Locks Canal are just some of the attractions on Newport’s doorstep.
