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.

12 Most Hated Places to Live in Wales
What are the most hated places in Wales? There are surely two sides to every coin. When you see the passion with which some people admire and love their homes in Wales and name nice seaside towns, dockyards, communities, villages, and hamlets in Wales, you will be left to wonder if there can ever be anywhere hated in Wales. Yet, there are places in Wales that are also passionately derided, mocked, and treated with utmost disdain. While doing our due diligence, we discover that some hated towns in Wales are not hated absolutely, not by all. In this video, we have compiled the list of the 12 most hated places to live in Wales. Please note that many of them are also among the worst towns in Wales.
12. Cwmbran
We’re kick-starting this in Cwmbran, a town in the county borough of Torfaen. A lot of terrible things have been said about the residents and the by fellow residents and outsiders. However, the main reason we are mentioning this town is the safety concern. While it might not top in the overall crime rates, you have to look more closely to find up to three towns of its status with a higher crime rate in Wales. Thus, this town is hated, not for environmental factors, but for human factors, occasioned by the residents.
11. Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay, a town, community, and seaside resort in Conwy County Borough on the northern coast has expanded to the point of becoming the second-largest community and business center in the north of Wales and the 14th largest in the whole of Wales. Yet, it has little or nothing to show for that economically. It’s a drab and miserable place to live. Compounding its woes are its high crime rates. Its beach is dirty and hasn’t shown anything for the efforts to make it better; the horrendous concrete building appears as if the last time it was maintained was 1970.
10. Aberdare
We once argued against the notion that this is a town loved by criminals. Yet, we can’t turn a blind high to the high crime rate of this town in the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf. As of the last check, it’s the third most dangerous small town in Mid-Glamorgan. You just need to see what we’ve discovered about this town in our video about the 12 worst places to live. If it is conveniently and justifiably listed in that ranking, we all know that no one will love to live in one of the worst places.
9. Fairbourne
Fairbourne, a tiny village nestled between Snowdonia National Park and the Irish Sea has been begging for a slot on this ranking. The place is currently facing an existential crisis, no thanks to the high risk of future flooding as a result of climate change. A while ago, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the organization in charge of flood management in Wales, spent £6.8m on strengthening 2.9 kilometers of concrete tidal defenses so that over 400 properties in the town can be protected from storm surges and flooding, and to complete other constructions. But we’re not happy to let you know that the Gwynedd Council, in charge of this village has said since 2014 that it couldn’t maintain flood defenses of the village indefinitely. By 2054 latest, the village will no longer be livable. Who would ever love to live in such a place?
8. Denbighshire
You might want to argue against the inclusion of Denbighshire on this list if you consider some of its towns like Llangollen, a community situated on the River Dee. However, when it comes to how good and convenient a place is for living, the entire county is generally hated, except for a pocket of towns there like Llangollen and Ruthin. Reviewers have not been generally kind to this county in the northeast of Wales.

10 Worst Towns to Live in Wales
What are the worst towns to live in Wales? We don’t want to make it boring. Otherwise, we would have listed all the towns in Wales in the order of how they are considered good. Even if we could do that, some people may view such a listing as conjectural. Towns considered good by a reviewer may be seen as bad by another. But then, for the sake of this production, let’s assume that all the towns in Wales are good. But they can’t all be equally good. If some had higher degrees of goodness, yes, they are better. And if some towns are better than others, the logic follows that some are worse. On that positive note, let’s discuss the 10 worst towns to live in Wales.
10. Ebbw Vale
Ebbw Vale, the town at the head of the valley which is formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary of the Ebbw River is the largest town in Blaenau Gwent county borough. Its direct access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys trunk road doesn’t make it a good place to live in Wales. The town bordering the Brecon Beacons National Park Ebbw Vale isn’t economically viable with the second-lowest mean salary in Britain. In fact, for the people to survive, 5 food banks are operating in the community. This has also affected the town educationally. This is indicated by its having the worst GCSE results in Wales. Meanwhile, Ebbw Vale is the town with the cheapest home price in England and Wales as no one would be willing to buy a home in a place very bad to live in.
9. Pontypool
As we think about Pontypool, we’re filled with the emotion of love for the residents of the people. No, this doesn’t mean we love to live among them or envy their situation. We only salute their resilience that makes them remain in a town without no places to visit, no nightlife, no restaurants and bars, and with zero social life. This administrative center of the county borough of Torfaen has nothing like a sense of community. Ironically, there’s no privacy in this town as almost everyone will notice your presence or absence. Your financial status is in public knowledge. Care needs to be taken in such a town to select a date if you don’t want to have an incestuous amorous affair.
8. Llangefni
The case of Llangefni, the county town of Anglesey, whose name in Welsh means meaning “church on the River Cefni,” is pathetic. The town which is home to the principal offices of the Isle of Anglesey County Council and the second largest settlement in that county has too many bad reviews. But to stay on a kinder side, we would side with those who consider it one of the worst Welsh towns to live because of the number of old people in the town. The town is actually gradually taking up the appearance of old peoples’ homes as it has a higher percentage of older people. That should tell you that the town is boring and is economically disadvantaged. The town’s unemployment rate is higher than the national average.
7. Port Talbot
What image does the name of the town, Port Talbot evoke? If you choose to turn a blind eye to the negatives, you are likely to see a town and community of the home of one of the biggest steelworks in the world. That is cute. But that economic opportunity which covers a large area of land, dominating the southeast of the town does not come without a cost for the town. The environmental pollution this has caused for the town some 13 kilometers from Swansea has made it one of the worst places to live. The town is filled with the stench from this and other dirt dominating the place.
6. Llantwit Major
Our attention is now on Llantwit Major, a community on the Bristol Channel coast. This is one of 4 towns in the Vale of Glamorgan. The community located about 7.2 kilometers from Cowbridge, 14 kilometers from Bridgend, 16 kilometers from Barry, and 24 kilometers from Cardiff has not allowed these nice locations to rub off on it. It is one of the 10 worst places in Wales on this list for anyone who cares about safety. The crime rate there is rather on the high side and this is obviously inimical a good living. We would recommend living in any other place in Wales before mentioning Llantwit Major.

Two Valley Lines to clear and two Stations to film (19th June 2019)
The final part of my trip in Wales, Two Valley Lines to clear is to clear the Maesteg and Ebbw Vale Town branch lines which couldn't be done back in 2014.
Also during the day, I visit two railway stations, Bridgend and Pontypridd to do some filming, there is also a visit to Pontypridd Graig Station which a tunnel which boarded up remains.
After a day in South Wales, I heard back on the Transport for Wales Class 67 Locomotive loco haul which starts at Cardiff Central and goes to Holyhead but I only travelling as far as Hereford before heading back to Birmingham New Street on a West Midlands Railway Class 170/Class 153 combination before taking a Class 350 EMU home.

Poorest Towns in the UK – Newport, Wales
Why is Newport, Wales so poor? Newport is one of the towns in the UK that people don’t migrate to. The reason? It’s one of the poorest places to live in the United Kingdom. We included it in a video that ranked it along with other poor towns in the country. But time wouldn’t allow us to do justice to that account in the video. Yet, we feel we need to tell you more so that you can be convinced beyond doubt and sentiment that this town in the beautiful and tranquil countryside of Wales is indeed poor. As usual, this video will not cast aspersion on the competence of the governmental authority, it’s only a wake-up call.
But to start with, where’s Newport located? It’s a county borough situated on the River Usk not far from its confluence with the Severn Estuary. The Welsh town is located 19 kilometers northeast of Cardiff. We understand that Newport, the third-largest authority with city status in Wales, was granted that status during the Golden Jubilee celebration of the late Queen. Yet, for the purpose of this video, we would consider this 7th most populous authority overall a town as we have done in our video about the poorest towns in Britain. Kindly bear that in mind as we discuss the place that became a unitary authority in 1996 and which is part of the Cardiff-Newport metropolitan area.
Is Newport Really Poor?
We honestly wouldn’t have considered Newport poor and ranked it anywhere near the poorest towns if we hadn’t heard about its damning position in the most recent Index of Multiple Deprivation in Wales. The report shows that it is now the most deprived area in Wales. The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD), before arriving at this conclusion, measures deprivation levels primarily on income and employment. It also considers domains of health, education, community safety, access to services, living environment and housing.
According to the recent WIMD data, Newport is unfortunately not making enough or considerable progress in its effort to address the deprivation earlier observed in 2011 and 2014. In 2011, as many as 16 areas of this town ranked among the 10 percent most deprived in Wales. By then, it was the fourth most deprived in the country. In 2014, the number remained the same and the ranking soared.
But now, the number of neighborhoods ranked among the most deprived in Wales has grown to 23 which is equal to 24 percent of the authority. And the remainder of the 95 neighborhoods in Newport are at risk of becoming deprived if this trend continues. The current rate is the biggest percentage of any local authority in the country. That explains why the entire area is considered the most deprived.
The Most Deprived Areas of Newport
Yes, we know that not all of the 95 Newport neighborhoods on WIMD records are deprived. But consider what we just said. If 24.2 percent of them are found among the most deprived 10 percent in Wales, and 60 percent of them are in the top 50 percent, doesn’t that hoist a big banner announcing deprivation?

Ebbw Vale Line; Cardiff-Ebbw Vale return window views 2017
Since my clips of track laying on the branch have proved popular, I decided to take a ride on the line last week. Should have gone in winter ! So many trees in full leaf that there is little to see of the lineside/countryside. However for those of you who don't know the area I decided to go ahead with this edit. Hope you catch the station names too and the final shots of the flags in Cardiff.
Fourteen Locks and Cwmcarn Forest Cycle Ride
A christmas special cycle ride film. I didn't think I'd be able to get another ride in before Christmas or even the New Year but I got to take to the Fourteen Locks canal trail. This starts in Newport near the M4 Motorway where the trail splits between the last ride I did to Abergavenny also along the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal.
This cycle ride follows the canal through the villages of Risca and Cross Keys ending at Cwmcarn and up into Cwmcarn Forest. The forest is known for Forest Scenic Drive where you can drive around the hills though this is currently (December 2021) only open during weekends.
The gravel trail though can be cycled at any time and has both wide gravel trails and narrow off-piste trails for more adventurous mountain bikers.
It's was quite a tough climb in places with temperatures in single figures getting colder with the altitude and a bit of a breeze coming over the tops of the hills on occasions.
A challenging end to the cycle ride but with only being around 8 miles from Newport City there is plenty of energy left for the tougher climbs of Cwmcarn.
Hope you all have a good Christmas and thanks for watching.
