Places to see in ( Newport - UK )
Newport is a cathedral and university city and unitary authority area in south east Wales. Newport is located on the River Usk close to its confluence with the Severn Estuary, approximately 12 miles northeast of Cardiff.
Newport has been a port since medieval times, when the first Newport Castle was built by the Normans. The town outgrew the earlier Roman town of Caerleon, immediately upstream, and gained its first charter in 1314. It grew significantly in the 19th century, when its port became the focus of coal exports from the eastern valleys of South Wales. Until the rise of Cardiff from the 1850s, Newport was Wales' largest coal-exporting port. It was the site of the last large-scale armed insurrection in Britain, the Newport Rising of 1839 led by the Chartists.
During the 20th century, when the docks declined in importance, Newport remained an important manufacturing and engineering centre. Newport was granted city status in 2002. Newport hosted the Ryder Cup in 2010. The city was the venue for the 2014 NATO summit. Newport is the largest urban area within the historic county boundaries of Monmouthshire and the preserved county of Gwent. The City of Newport, which includes some surrounding rural areas as well as the built up area, is governed by Newport City Council.
The M4 motorway comes within a mile (1.6 km) of the city centre, and Newport can be accessed from six junctions (from 24–28 inclusive). The Great Western main railway line also passes through the heart of the city, stopping at Newport railway station. Newport is well linked with nearby Cardiff, with approximately six rail and five bus services between the cities every hour. The Old Green Interchange is an elevated roundabout over the A4042 (Heidenheim Drive) at the western end of Newport Bridge. Newport's pedestrianised High Street runs southwest from the interchange through Westgate Square to the pedestrianised Commercial Street. Queensway passes Newport railway station and links the Old Green Interchange to Newport Civic Centre via Clytha Park Road.

The Guardian of the Valleys, Six Bells
The 20 metre high statue is located on the site of the former Six Bells colliery. It is a memorial to the 45 miners who were killed in the Six Bells colliery disaster on June 28th 1960, caused by a gas explosion.
The statue of a lone miner was officially unveiled by the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams on June 28th 2010, on the fiftieth anniversary of the disaster. Designed by Sebastien Boyesen, the statue is made from thousands of steel ribbons. Around the plinth are inscribed the names of all the men who died in the disaster.
