Newport sits along the banks of the River Usk, just east of Cardiff, and has long been one of South Wales' key gateways. It's a city that blends a working-class spirit with a fresh sense of purpose, thanks to big regeneration projects and a slowly growing cultural scene. There's a solid, no-nonsense feel to Newport, with plenty going on beneath the surface—decent shopping, riverside walks, modern facilities and a few hidden gems if you know where to look. It's well connected, full of character, and has enough edge to make things interesting.

The city has roots going back to Roman times, with the remains of the Roman fortress at Caerleon just a short drive away. It began to grow properly in the medieval period as a port town, later booming during the industrial revolution as a centre for coal export and iron production. The Newport Rising of 1839, a major moment in the Chartist movement, is a proud part of the city's radical history. In more recent years, it's seen major investment and development, especially around the city centre and the riverfront. Today, Newport has a population of around 160,000 and continues to evolve, mixing its industrial heritage with a more modern outlook.

In terms of attractions, Newport offers more than you might think. The Newport Transporter Bridge is an iconic structure and one of only a few of its kind still in operation. The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre offers performances, films and exhibitions, while the Newport Museum and Art Gallery is a good spot to dig into the city's past. Tredegar House, managed by the National Trust, is just on the edge of the city and well worth a visit—an impressive 17th-century mansion surrounded by parkland. Caerleon, just north of the city, is packed with Roman history including an amphitheatre, barracks, and the National Roman Legion Museum. There aren't many English Heritage sites right in the city, but plenty of history is stitched into the landscape nearby.

The wider Gwent area has loads to offer too. Head north and you'll reach the rolling hills of the Usk Valley and the edge of the Brecon Beacons, perfect for walking and exploring. Abergavenny is a lovely market town with foodie flair, while Monmouth has charm, history, and riverside views. Tintern Abbey, nestled in the Wye Valley, is one of the most atmospheric ruins in Wales and a must-see for anyone passing through. Chepstow Castle, perched above the River Wye, is another standout—full of medieval drama and great views. Whether you're after castles, countryside or quiet market towns, Gwent's got a bit of everything.

Newport's transport links are one of its biggest strengths. It sits just off the M4, making road travel to Cardiff, Bristol and London straightforward. Newport railway station is on the South Wales Main Line and offers direct trains to Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham and London Paddington. Local bus services cover the city and surrounding areas, and there are park and ride sites for commuters. Cardiff Airport is the closest, roughly 40 minutes by car, and Bristol Airport isn't too far either. Active travel is picking up too, with cycle routes expanding and the riverside path offering a peaceful way to get about.

Gwent as a county is a blend of urban centres, valley communities and rural landscapes. Though local government boundaries have changed over the years, the historic county of Gwent still has a strong identity. It stretches from the Severn Estuary up into the lower reaches of the Brecon Beacons and takes in towns like Cwmbran, Abergavenny, Monmouth and Chepstow. It's an area that's seen coal mining, ironworks, farming and trade over the centuries—and now finds itself balancing tradition with regeneration. There's a quiet resilience to Gwent, with communities that have weathered a lot and are still pushing forward.
