About

Llanwern ward is located in the southeast of Newport, bordering the River Severn estuary. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments and local amenities serving the community. Its landscape is characterised by flat, low-lying land, with significant areas of open space and fields. The ward includes the village of Llanwern itself, which has a distinct historical centre separate from the more modern housing.

A major feature of the area is the large, now decommissioned Llanwern steelworks site, which has dominated the local landscape for decades. The ongoing redevelopment of these extensive industrial lands is a long-term transformation project. The area is also known for its network of drainage channels and reens, managing the water levels in this coastal plain. Llanwern High School serves as a secondary education hub for the wider eastern Newport area.
