About

Pillgwenlly, often referred to as Pill, is a historic riverside district situated on the west bank of the River Usk. Its streets and terraced housing are laid out on a gentle slope leading down to the modern commercial and industrial docks. The area has a long, direct association with Newport's maritime and industrial past, shaped by the tidal river and the trade it brought.

The docks themselves are a functional port area, with warehouses and logistics operations. A specific local landmark is the Transporter Bridge, an iconic structure that crosses the river here, providing a moving gondola for vehicles and pedestrians. The geography is defined by water, with the river and the extensive dock basins creating a distinct landscape of bridges, locks, and quaysides.
