Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd) is a vibrant city on the west bank of the River Usk in South Wales, with origins as a medieval market town that grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution. It is famous for the iconic Transporter Bridge, the remains of Newport Castle, and its significant role in the Chartist Movement. Today, Newport is a diverse, forward-looking city with a strong retail, cultural and sporting offer, including Friars Walk shopping centre, the Riverfront Arts Centre, and Rodney Parade, home to Newport County AFC and Newport Gwent Dragons.
