Malpas

About

Malpas ward lies on the northwestern edge of Newport, bordered by the River Usk to the south and west. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from interwar semis to modern developments. Its topography includes gentle slopes leading down towards the river, with several local parks and green spaces providing recreational areas. The ward is well-connected by main roads leading into the city centre and towards neighbouring districts.

A notable local landmark is the Malpas Court mansion, a 19th-century Gothic revival house set within its own grounds, now serving as a community venue. The area is also home to the extensive St. Julian's Park. Residential streets are quiet, with local shopping parades catering to daily needs. The presence of the river and its associated walking paths contributes to the ward's character.
