Newport info
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,
although an administrative county in its own right.
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. 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 excellently served in communication
terms - the M4 motorway comes within a mile of
the city centre, and Newport has six junctions.
The Great Western main railway line also passes
right through the heart of the city, stopping
at High Street station. Newport is also a major
railway junction between the Great Western line
and a line direct to the north of England. People
from Newport are known as Newportonians.
