,000 and a bustling community by the 1900's.
Another famous point in Newport's great history is Tredegar House; part of the Morgan Family history plays a great part in the 1800's to 1900's during the industrial revolution of Newport. The family held great power and standing in Newport during these years although the earliest records for the Tredegar house estate stem all the way back to 1402.
However we are able to go a lot further back than that in the History of Newport and this is because of the Castle which still just about stands on the riverbank of the river Usk. This castle dates back a massive 2000 years to the Celtic era. The reason for this location by the Celts is due to the close proximity of the Roman settlement in Caerleon, which lies on the very boundaries of Newport. Newport received its first Charter in 1385 and although little ...
Croeso yr Casnewydd, or Welcome to Newport, my hometown.
While I was thinking of this review, I felt an introduction to the historic city of Newport was in order. History shapes a town, Newport has only recently been granted city status, and so I will call it a town. All around this part of South Wales is steeped in history, but I immediately came upon a stumbling block.

Abergavenny, some twenty miles from Newport, once housed a huge library in its castle, but sieges left the castle and it?s contents burnt down, around the time of Oliver Cromwell.
Geoffrey of Monmouth (1100 to 1154) was the main chronicler off the age, but his written works were ...
to be more opulent than the previous one. We decided to visit the Marble House, where all the furnishings were original. The whole place was very impressive and I have never seen anything like it in this country. It was mind boggling to think of how much money had been spent on the house.
As we had decent weather when we were there (this was in September) we decided to do the famous ‘cliff walk’. This follows along the back of Ocean Drive so you get to see the wonderful houses from the back. Although the scenery was wonderful the paths are not in good repair and wind around rather precariously at times (this is against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean) so I was somewhat pleased when we came to the end of the 3.5-mile trail!
There are lots to keep you busy in Newport for a few days. We didn’t come across any ...
