Newport, Principal area in South Wales, Great Britain.

Newport extends along the River Usk near its convergence with the Severn Estuary, encompassing 73 square miles of urban and suburban territories.

The medieval borough emerged around 1126 with the establishment of Newport Castle, later developing into a major coal export center during the 19th century.

The Newport Museum presents collections of local artifacts, while the Riverfront Arts Centre schedules regular theater productions and musical performances throughout the year.

The city maintains extensive transportation connections through its railway station on the Great Western Main Line and direct access to the M4 motorway network.

The Newport Rising of 1839 stands as Britain's final large-scale armed rebellion, with bullet marks remaining visible on the Westgate Hotel's pillars.
