About Newport - Standing at the gateway between England and Wales, Newport covers a geographical area of just over 73.5 square miles and 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.
Shopping - In addition to the major High Street shops located in the city centre the beautiful two-storey covered Newport Market is a popular shopping venue with a wide selection of good quality stalls. Don’t forget about the Ffwrwm Arts and Craft Centre, located in High Street, Caerleon which is open all year and has a selection of smaller shops for gifts.
