About

Bishton and Langstone ward lies in the northeastern part of Newport, bordering the city's rural fringe. The area is primarily residential, characterised by modern housing estates and some older village cores. It contains significant green spaces, including areas of farmland and the playing fields of Langstone Leisure Park. The ward is bounded by the M4 motorway to the north, which defines its edge and provides a major transport link.

The geography is defined by the Nedern Brook, a tributary of the River Usk, which flows through the area. A notable local landmark is the historic Twmbarlwm hillfort, an ancient Iron Age site situated on the ridge to the north, offering views over the ward. The presence of Newport's main crematorium and cemetery within its boundaries is a distinct aspect of the local landscape. Development pressure from the city continues to shape its semi-rural character.
