Newport is a historic Welsh city on the River Usk, near its meeting with the Severn Estuary. Once a vital coal port and industrial hub—hosting the last armed rebellion in Britain in 1839—Newport has evolved into a modern centre bolstered by technology and the M4 corridor. It gained city status in 2002 and hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup and 2014 NATO summit at the Celtic Manor Resort. Explore its Norman castle, Newport Cathedral, and archaeological sites in surrounding villages, while uncovering a rich past from Roman settlements to medieval trade and the discovery of a unique 15th-century ship.Wikipedia
