More about Newport Monmouthshire Wales
Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd) is the third largest city
in Wales (after Cardiff and Swansea). Standing on the
banks of the river Usk, it is the cultural capital of
the traditional county of Monmouthshire and governed by
the unitary Newport City Council.
The full Welsh name for the city is Casnewydd-ar-Wysg
(pronounced Cas-NEW-ith) ('e' as in 'men'; 'th' as in
'then'), which literally means 'New Castle-on-Usk'. This
refers to the twelfth-century castle ruins near the city
centre, which are 'new' compared to the Roman fortress
at nearby Caerleon. Caerleon is now a suburb of the City
of newport. Newport is also sometimes labelled
Newport-on-Usk on old maps.
The city's importance as a trading port in the middle
ages was re-emphasized when a 15th century ship,
referred to locally as the Newport ship was recently
uncovered from the bank of the Usk within Newport during
the construction of a new arts centre.
The city is largely low-lying, but with a few hilly
areas. Areas in the south and east of the city tend to
be very flat and fertile with some housing estates and
industrial areas reclaimed from marshland. Areas such as
Caerleon, near the banks of the River Usk tend to also
be low-lying. There is a ridge of relatively higher land
known as Ridgeway running through the city that has good
views of surrounding areas.
The suburbs of the city have tended to grow outwards
from the inner-city in different directions along the
main roads, leading to many out-of-town shopping centres
being built. Such centres tend to have large free car
parks and are seen as more convenient than travelling
several miles to shop in the city centre. The urban area
is continuing to expand rapidly with new estates being
built constantly.
The city is divided into 20 wards. Most of these wards
are coterminous with communities (parishes) of the same
name. Each community can have an elected council.
Newport has a moderate temperate climate, with the
weather rarely staying the same for long periods of
time. The city is one of the warmer locations in the UK
and its sheltered location often protects from extreme
weather. Like all of the UK, Newport benefits from the
warming effect of the Gulf Stream. Newport has warm
summers and fairly cool winters. Thunderstorms are
intermittent throughout late-spring and summer. Rainfall
falls throughout the year but spring is often the driest
season. Snow falls every winter but doesn't usually
settle to great depths and often melts within a day or
two after falling, snow does not settle every winter.
Newport only records a few days with gales every year
but a light breeze is often present. Frosts are fairly
common from November to April, being situated on the
edge of the Welsh Marches.
Newport has three major centres for employment: the city
centre and business parks clustered around the M4
junctions 24 in the east and 28 in the west. The civil
service industry is the biggest employer in the city.
Businesses in the city centre include the Passport
Office for much of the south and west of the UK, and the
Wales headquarters of the Charity Commission and British
Red Cross.
Businesses on the west side of the city include: The
headquarters of the Office for National Statistics, the
headquarters of the Patent Office, the headquarters of
Wales and West Utilities, a large Panasonic
manufacturing plant, a manufacturing plant for
International Rectifier and the shared-service centre
for HM Prison Service. There is a huge plant on the
Celtic Lakes business and science park originally built
for the LG Group, but market conditions led to the
semiconductor plant never opening, and the CRT plant
eventually closing. There are many plans for the site,
including transforming it into a conference centre along
the lines of the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham or
a large super-casino.
Industry in the east of Newport was formerly based on
the Corus steelworks at Llanwern, and although the
rolling mill is still active, steel manufacture ceased
in 2001. The land formerly used for manufacturing is
currently being redeveloped to provide 4,000 homes and
up to 6,000 jobs.
